Understanding Your Alcohol Use and Getting Help

At Anfield and Everton PCN, we are here to help with Alcohol and Substance Use Concerns. We know everyone uses alcohol in their own way. It’s good to think about your habits:

Maybe you don’t drink alcohol at all.
Maybe you drink in a way that is safe.
Or, you might be drinking in a way that causes problems for your health.

It’s important to make choices about alcohol that keep you safe and healthy. Our services help many people. For example, we help those who are drinking too much.

This can cause health problems. Also, it can make it hard to focus on work or studies. Knowing how to make better choices can help you stay safe.

UK Advice on Alcohol Limits

The UK health guides have advice on how much alcohol is safe. They say most adults should not drink more than 14 units of alcohol in a week.

Remember, this is the most you should drink. It is not a goal. Always, drinking less is better for your health.

Also, drinking a lot of alcohol very quickly can cause much harm. This is true even if your total for the week is not that high.
