5 drinks ("units") a day if you're 85 or older!

A normal sized glass of wine or half a pint of regular strength beer contains one unit.

That's only 2 1/2 pints.

So someone has commissioned a study which effectively says that if you get bladdered when you are young, you have a greater risk of dying due to unintentional accidents?

I coulda told 'em that for free.

And what is all this nonsense??? I am only allowed

.....to have ONE UNIT of alcohol a day until I am 44??

(sorry, I accidentally hit the enter button half way through that sentence because I was so alarmed and upset)

This would be okay if ONE UNIT = ONE BOTTLE OF CHABLIS

Which, apparently, it doesn't.

Rats!

But this latest study suggests that any benefits only apply if people drink later in life.

And here, I thought 28 was a grand old time to toss back a bottle or two. Better wait til I get my support hose on, then....
