As we head towards our third week of working from home due to COVID, it’s all so easy to get sucked into drinking too much. So much stress, worry and uncertainty. However, we know alcohol increases the risk of chest infections and respiratory disease so it’s important to stay within the low risk guidelines to reduce the impact of COVID, if you do get it. It’s one area we can all control.
Low risk Drinking Guidelines
The low risk guidelines are 11 standard drinks for women, spread over the week with 2-3 alcohol-free days per week.
For more on these guidelines and what is a standard drink check out here or the HSE site
