Some people though take a different approach to the whole celebration and basically drink to they drop. Apart from sore heads, other problems with alcohol include damage to organs, increased cancer risk and, because of all the calories, an expanded waist line.
The good
news is that cutting back and slowing down alcohol consumption can boost your
wellbeing considerably. The NHS publication ‘Cutting down on alcohol' highlights
the following benefits of reduced drinking: feeling better in the
morning; improved immune system; more energy; better skin tone; a better mood.
The NHS also has easy advice on how to cut down alcohol.
However,
please note that Irish and UK alcohol measurements are different, so the NHS
‘Drink Checker’ would not be an accurate guide for students in NUI Galway. For
a good non-judgmental way to begin looking at your engagement with alcohol is
to try out the e-pub facility in NUI Galway.
