Alcohol plays a part in many people’s lives and, in the main, is drunk at sensible levels.

However, research shows that around a quarter of adults drink above recommended levels – which can lead to serious long term health problems as well as effecting your weight, mental health and relationships.

This website is designed to help you keep your drinking within recommended levels. It will show you how many units and calories are in your favourite tipple and contains a questionnaire which will show whether you're drinking is putting your health at risk.

The drinks diary will help you keep a record of your alcohol consumption. There's no guaranteed safe level of drinking, but if you drink less than the recommended daily limits, the risks of harming your health are low.

For further information you can download a leaflet which describes the effects on you and your family as well as a handy ready reckoner that you can keep with you.
