the age, level of education, gender, genetic background, and family history of person’s alcoholism; whether he or she is at risk as a result of prenatal alcohol exposure; and his or her general health status. The effects of alcohol in terms of the promil is given below: 0.2 promil: change in attitude, increase in body temperature. 0.5 promil: relaxation in the body, loss of coordination,. This is the limit for drink driving. 1.0 promil: visual indication of drunkness, highly loss of coordination. 1.5 promil: unable to stand up properly, difficulty in speaking and walking. 2.0 promil: unable to understand spoken words, crying or laughing for no apparent reasons. 3.0 promil: loss of reflexes, vomiting, total loss of coordination There is considerable confusion about the accepted limits of in the adults. Many researchers accept that alcohol consumption up to 14 units per week for women and 21 units for men is the limit. Any amount above these limits are considered to be excessive. One unit is equal to one small glass of wine, a single purchased measure of spirits or half a pint of beer. Thus, the accepted limit for men is about 10 pints of beer or 21 measures of wine in a week. Similarly, for women the accepted limit is 7 pints of beer or 14 measures of wine per week. Pregnant women should not consume any alcohol. It is known that a lot of alcohol can damage a developing baby. A small amount probably does no harm. However, the exact amount that is safe is not known. Therefore, to play safe, advice from the Department of Health is that pregnant women and women trying to become pregnant should not drink at all. If you do choose to drink when you are pregnant then limit it to one or two units, once or twice a week, and never get drunk. But remember, many wines and beers are stronger than the more traditional ordinary strengths. A more accurate way of calculating units is as follows: the percentage alcohol by
