Three-quarters of drinkers do not know a typical glass of wine contains three units of alcohol, a survey for the Department of Health suggests. The YouGov survey of 1,429 drinkers in England found more than a third did not know their recommended daily limit - 2-3 units for women and 3-4 for men.

Maybe that would help explain the results of the recent study that said one in three UK workers have been hungover at work, and one in ten have been drunk at their desk!
"The results of their research are pretty astonishing - 24% of construction workers have been drunk whilst at work, closely followed by 23% of business services and 15% of IT workers. It's the media and creative lot who are 'leading the field' in being drunk at work - a whopping 41% of us having been drunk when we've gone to work, that's four times the average!" -
It's got to have something to do with the ever increasing alcohol levels in drinks. I was drinking some local cider on Saturday evening, looked at the percentage and was greeted with a rather blurry looking 7.9%. I'm not saying it's good, nor that it's bad, rather they just need a better sign that says check how strong your drink is before swigging 3 pints.

I don't know if its bout higher alcohol %s, surely a bit of common sense is needed to check out what ur drinkin before u pour it down ur face.

If everyone did know their recommended daily limit would they all stick to it? I think not
