Alcohol: advice and support
There's no completely safe level of drinking but to lower the risk of harming your health it's recommended that people drink no more than 14 units of alcohol a week, spread across 3 days or more. That's no more than approximately, 6 medium (175ml) glasses of wine or 6 pints of 4% beer, a week.
If you are concerned that you or someone you know might be drinking too much, you can find support and advice by visiting the Derby ORCHA website of approved and regulated apps.
