fernytickles - I empathise with that situation, however, I do feel that it does not apply in this situation.
A large measure at bedtime doesn't mean that there is a problem.
I believe that the Gentleman in question is 61 - so it is probably actually beneficial.
I could bang on about limits, guidelines etc. And of course there is the old story of Granny who smoked 60 Woodbines a day and drank a bottle of whisky a day.
At 61 a good tipple is unlikely to do any harm.
So how much is a good tipple - 3-4 units ? (that's 3 or 2 small whiskys).
What I find is, that people don't understand the units of alcohol that they are drinking.
It is simply because they don't know.
So our Government sets guidelines. What the problem with that is, that some (mostly youngsters) seem to either ignore them or take it as weekly limit.
This ad campaign in the UK at the moment is ill thought out. Yes, it talks about units. But you ask the average person in the street about units etc - they don't have a clue.
So, back to the plot, how many units do you think you are drinking of an evening BV123 ?
If it is of concern to you, surely you have a doubt ?
I am quite happy to openly discuss this on this forum if you are.
I am an informed individual about such matters having been educated myself shall we say !
Personally I wouldn't worry.
