Ok clearly this is just so it's the same as that for women so the feminists have one less thing to moan about but historically the safe limit has been something of an exercise in Bovine Guano anyway, the original 21 units a week was purely so the daily amount was not over the DD limit, nothing to do with health at all. So now we must endure this latest old pony on the alter of PC cobblers.

We don't have to 'endure' it. Simply read and assess.

Obviously getting ready for when Shia Law takes over.

Same with "Five a Day" for fruit and veg.
Pulled from thin air.
Not heard so much nowadays.

Zacs has it right , read then decide - no 'have to' about it. Make your own choices.

[anotheoldgit]

Females can't take the amount of alcohol that men can, so why have they brought the men's safe drinking levels in line with the females?

Come out from under that table AOG ;-)

i thought the title said 'what is the real sea level' i'm obviously exceeding the recommended daily limit

[douglas9401]

Aye, give it a year and it'll be 'dangerous global drinking', 'hard working families, doing the right thing by not drinking' and 'our brave teetotal armed service personnel'.

I'll have a pint of Deuchars please.

Yep the latest in right-on PC cobblers.

And no, women are not built the same as men, so they cant cope with it any better than a weedy small man. They need to get used to it

[woofgang]

we don’t have to endure anything.....just ignore it.

[jno]

it's advice. It's a guideline. Just ignore it, tank up, drive your car, run over a few feminists, and see what happens.

[woofgang]

ha ha jno for best answer

[youngmafbog]

By the fact it is published means we have to endure it - and daft comments like jno's.

Can't see anywhere TTT is advocating drinking and driving.

[woofgang]

Not sure what there is to endure about stuff published in newspapers....todays news, tomorrows chip paper as we used to say.

[Baldric]

I'll be having a drink tonight, starting with dinner and a Red Wine or 3, then a G & T or 3 to see in the New Year, safe limits will not be involved. I don't need to go out in the car tomorrow, might have to go to paper shop if they're still having problems will deliveries, but that's only a 10 minute walk.
If I needed to drive I wouldn't drink, simplessss!

You can't fall over and hurt yourself. :-)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Second thoughts
May be the coma position to be really safe. :-)

In 6 months ,maybe a year we will be told it will be safe to drink twice as much again, and the fat cats will own all the breweries ;)

As from today I just got my first state pension paid into my bank.
For the sake of old PC can I have it back dated to my 60th birthday like when women got theirs.
Thanks Mr Excise man. I note ,due to your generosity, my tax free allowance has shrunk from £10,600 to £4,329. Happy New Year R. soles.
