According to the Beeb: ( http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-35255384 )
"The 14-unit limit has been chosen because at that point, your drinking leads to a 1% risk of dying from alcohol-related causes.
This has been deemed to be an acceptable level of risk as it is approximately the same risk that someone has when they do an every day task such as driving a car."
and,
"Prof Sir David Spiegelhalter, an expert in understanding risk from the University of Cambridge, said it was important to put the 1% risk in context. He said an hour of TV watching or a bacon sandwich a couple of time a week was more dangerous."
So, not only can't we get bladdered any more, we can't sober up with a bacon sarnie whilst watching telly.
Please. Won't someone think of the children?
