New alcohol guidelines were released by the National Health and Medical Research Council today. The guidelines recommend no more than ten standard drinks a week, and no more than four on any one day. Examples of one standard drink being
- 375ml can of mid-strength beer 🍺
- 100ml wine 🍷
- 30ml nip of spirit 🥃

However a key message of the new guidelines is to drink as little as possible.

The guidelines present a timely reminder to consider our alcohol intake as we embark on the festive season.

The guidelines are informed by a review of the best available evidence. The less you drink, the lower the risk of harm to your health.
