In a report, the committee members of Science and Technology have pointed out the need of bringing change in the drinking guidelines. It has come to light that the guidelines for sensible limit of drinking are not clear as men and women are unaware as to how much they should consume.

According to the sensible limit of drinking, a man should not drink more than 21 units of alcohol and similarly a woman should also consume only 14 units of alcohol. The Chair of the committee, Andrew Miller said, “Alcohol guidelines are a crucial tool for Government in its effort to combat excessive and problematic drinking. It is vital that they are up to date and that people know how to use them”.

It has been observed that these days more of people are consuming alcohol after coming in the influence of friends and community that they share. Therefore, the government is now planning the ways by which the levels of alcohol consumption could be reduced.

It has been advised by the committee members that the people should skip at least two days a week when it comes to drinking. It has been proposed that the awareness regarding the drinking guidelines should be brought in such a way that people doesn’t feel that they are being lectured. Creative way of bringing awareness is now being sought by the authorities concerned.

In previous studies, it was postulated that by controlling the drinking habits disease pertaining to heart can be prevented or avoided. It has come to light that the bottles of alcohol will carry labels which will carry the information regarding the right level of alcohol consumption. It is hoped that the move by the authorities would prove helpful in reducing the levels of bring drinking.
