16 Reading Text (based on the BBC): One in four drinks too much Up to a quarter of adults in Britain exceed their recommended daily limit of alcohol, according to research done last autumn. A survey of 2,000 people found almost one in three men and one in five women drank at least double the daily limit. BUPA Wellness says 11 million Britons are risking their health in this way. Despite the figures, more than two-thirds of those who drank more than the recommended amount on a night out denied that they were binge drinkers and a similar number were not concerned by their pattern of drinking. More than eight out of 10 drinkers said they did not keep track of how much they drank during a night out and just under half said they believed drinking had no effect at all on their health. Young men were found to be the most likely to binge-drink, with 47% of those aged classed as binge drinkers. But recent reports show the gender gap is closing and that many young women now binge-drink. Some have blamed licensing hours for encouraging people to cram their drinking into a shorter space of time, as well as drink promotions such as happy hours and "two-for-one" offers. Dr Peter Mace, medical director at BUPA Wellness, said part of the problem was that drinking limits were not as easily defined as they once were, with beers and wines served in a variety of strengths and sizes. This means it is often confusing to know exactly how much it is safe to drink. "There is clearly a gap in information being provided for drinkers and a strong need for education to stem what is fast becoming a serious health and social problem for the UK," Dr Mace said. Analysis of another, this time Europe-wide study, also shows that alcohol consumption in southern Mediterranean countries is falling, but rising in northern Europe. Liver disease is now seen in younger people, Professor Moira Plant of the University of West of England said. Alcohol is cheaper and more available than ever before. Professor Plant, a specialist in alcohol studies, warned that if young women in Britain continued to drink in this way, that they could present problems for the health service in the future. Licensed premises can apply to extend their opening hours beyond 11pm from 24 November, potentially to allow 24-hour drinking in some cases. She analysed research collected in a major international study focusing on 12 European countries in 2004 and She said: "Britain seems to be the only country in which women are overtaking young men in the 18 to 24 age group." She said that elsewhere, and in the past in Britain, women tended to drink in a much safer way than men. Professor Plant said that some of the reasons women used not to drink so extensively was because they feared for their physical safety when they did. This did not seem to be as much of an issue for them now, she added. But she warned there was a delayed physical risk for women associated with the health implications of binge drinking. "There are now young women in their late teens and early 20s developing liver damage that in the past was not being seen until the age of 60 or 70," she added. Advisers say women should drink no more than 2-3 units and men no more than 3-4 units of alcohol per day. A small glass of wine contains one unit. Alcohol abuse is also linked with stomach ulcers, damage to the oesophagus and damage to the brain. A spokeswoman for campaign group Alcohol Concern said: "Recent trends in women's drinking are certainly cause for concern, and we're pleased that this study shifts the issue away from simply being about alcohol-related disorder and the existing trends among young women towards social drinking and irresponsible behaviour, and actually addresses the real health risks of drinking too much. Health professionals have a crucial role to play in educating problem-drinkers about the health problems they could be storing up for the future." binge-drink (=an occasion when somebody drinks too much alcohol) BUPA (=British United Provident Association) is an organization that provides private medical insurance in the UK.

Liver disease is now seen in younger people, Professor Moira Plant of the University of West of England said. Alcohol is cheaper and more available than ever before. Professor Plant, a specialist in alcohol studies, warned that if young women in Britain continued to drink in this way, that they could present problems for the health service in the future. Licensed premises can apply to extend their opening hours beyond 11pm from 24 November, potentially to allow 24-hour drinking in some cases. She analysed research collected in a major international study focusing on 12 European countries in 2004 and She said: "Britain seems to be the only country in which women are overtaking young men in the 18 to 24 age group." She said that elsewhere, and in the past in Britain, women tended to drink in a much safer way than men. Professor Plant said that some of the reasons women used not to drink so extensively was because they feared for their physical safety when they did. This did not seem to be as much of an issue for them now, she added. But she warned there was a delayed physical risk for women associated with the health implications of binge drinking. "There are now young women in their late teens and early 20s developing liver damage that in the past was not being seen until the age of 60 or 70," she added. Advisers say women should drink no more than 2-3 units and men no more than 3-4 units of alcohol per day. A small glass of wine contains one unit. Alcohol abuse is also linked with stomach ulcers, damage to the oesophagus and damage to the brain. A spokeswoman for campaign group Alcohol Concern said: "Recent trends in women's drinking are certainly cause for concern, and we're pleased that this study shifts the issue away from simply being about alcohol-related disorder and the existing trends among young women towards social drinking and irresponsible behaviour, and actually addresses the real health risks of drinking too much. Health professionals have a crucial role to play in educating problem-drinkers about the health problems they could be storing up for the future." binge-drink (=an occasion when somebody drinks too much alcohol) BUPA (=British United Provident Association) is an organization that provides private medical insurance in the UK.
