The Challenge shoudl be used as a kick start towards a healthier lifestyle and this includes ensuring you are sensible about your consumption of alcohol.
When off The Challenge and working towards your healthier lifestyle, you should still ensure that you watch your consumption of alcohol. Official advice for women is to consume no more than 14 units and men no more than 21 units per week.
A typical glass of wine (175mls) contains 2 units, a single measure of spirit contains 1 unit and a pint of regular beer/lager/cider contains 2 units. Choose healthier options like white wine spritzers with slimline tonic or use mixers like low cal colas or lemonade.
