Drinking an excessive amount of alcohol can not only leave you suffering the impacts of short-term knocks to your health, but it can have a severe impact on your long-term fitness.
According to the NHS, alcohol misuse is when you drink in a way that is harmful, or you are dependent on alcohol. This comes with many health risks both short-term and long-term.
The dread of a hangover can be enough to put us off drinking for a few weeks, but booze can actually cause far more serious health risks than a headache. Both men and women are advised not to regularly drink more than 14 units a week [one unit equals 10ml or 8g of pure alcohol for more information visit the NHS guidance here ].
