Alcohol - Merit in Moderation

We all know that a small amount of alcohol goes a long way in boosting our health. But how small is small?

First, let us debunk some of the myths. The migraines you have if you over drink, it's not caused by the alcohol itself! Rather, scientific research are pointing towards polyphenols (tannins) that gives the headache.

So back to the merits. 21 units for men while 14units for the ladies. How to measure your intake, ensuring alcohol is doing you more good then harm? Take a look at the guide below.


All alcohol contributes to obesity, mainly because alcohol itself is just a simpler form of sugar - calories!

But the main culprits are stouts and beers.

Words of the day:

Teetotaller: A person who never drinks alcohol.

Spasmodic: occurring or done in brief, irregular burst

Cirrhosis: inflammation of the liver.

Alright. A pledge to myself. Drink responsibly. \m/
