Beer Limit Per Week: Beer, made from fermented grains, has an alcohol content (ABV) of 4% to 6%. The National Health Service (NHS) defines one unit as 10ml or 8g of pure alcohol. The NHS recommends a weekly limit of 14 units, or 2 units per day, for both men and women.

Beer side effects: While moderate beer intake may offer health benefits, excessive consumption can lead to serious health issues. Exceeding recommended limits can have adverse effects. The World Health Organization states that even moderate alcohol use can increase cancer risk. Beer, being a diuretic, can cause dehydration, headaches, fatigue, and dry mouth. While initially inducing sleep, it can eventually disrupt sleep patterns. Avoid excessive alcohol consumption.
