If you’re starting to be concerned about your drinking or if people around you are concerned, chances are you should take a look at how much you’re really consuming.

According to an article on GQ magazine’s website, men should not be drinking more than 21 units of alcohol per week, and even less for women.

Men should avoid drinking more than 4 units of alcohol a day and women half of that. We should also have at least 2 days a week, completely free of alcohol.
