Public Health officials in Britain are cautioning Britons of both sexes to limit their alcoholic intake to 14 units of alcohol per week - this is equivalent of seven glasses of wine, six pints of beer OR half a bottle of whiskey. This in a country where drinking is approached with "the zeal of a national sport." I recalled the late comedian Joe. E. Lewis who when suffering a case of the D.T.s was being interviewed by a rehab admittance doctor. When asked how much do you drink per day, one ounce, two ounces, a pint? Joe replied "A pint? Doc, I spill that much!" My maxim is everything in moderation.
