Why you need drink free days

There are few things better than a drink or two with friends, reconnecting and chatting about the day’s events. It’s good for our mental health and well-being. The problem is that a few drinks can turn into a few more and then a few more after that. That’s when the problems start. Even people who don’t overdo it on social occasions can face problems. Cheap alcohol in supermarkets means that more and more people regularly drink at home. Often every day. They may not notice that they are creeping well above the recommended limits. This can have a damaging effect on our health, especially as we get older. The decreasing ability to deal with alcohol as you age means it’s important to have drink free days to give your body time to recover. This video explains why.
