BRIGG FOLK URGED: KNOW YOUR DRINK LIMITS


Public Health at North Lincolnshire Council is urging drinkers to be sensible over Christmas and the New Year.
A statement says: "Britons drink 41 per cent more in December than any other month. Drink-driving rates and accidents in the home such as falls and fires rise sharply at Christmas. The NHS recommends the daily alcohol intake for men is three to four units and two to three units for women. Visit www.nhs.uk/Livewell/alcohol/Pages/alcohol-units to find out how many units are in your favourite drink. Ensure you plan ahead – always have a designated driver and if you’re cooking, take care with your alcohol intake."
