English “turn to booze on holiday”

ENGLISH holidaymakers are turning to drink on their breaks with the average adult consuming eight alcoholic drinks a day, a survey suggests.
That equates to 80 drinks over the course of the average holiday, or well over 200 units of alcohol.
More than a quarter said they ended up drinking three times more than normal.
But 70% of the 3'500 adults questioned by the Department of Health said they plan to make September the “new January” by cutting back.
NHS guidelines advise no more than two to three units a day for women or three to four units for men - roughly equal to a large glass of wine for women and two pints of beer for men.
