Survey: Did you drink too much last week?

Survey: Did you drink too much last week?

Did you consume more than the recommended limit of 11 units for women, or 17 for men? In Ireland, a standard drink contains 10 grams of pure alcohol, equal to a 35.5ml pub measure of spirits, a small 125ml glass of wine, a half pint of standard strength beer, or a 275ml bottle of alcopop. A bottle of 12.5 per cent proof wine contains about seven units of alcohol. The recommended limit for men is 17 standard drinks per week. Consuming six or more in one sitting is considered binge drinking.

These self-promotions appeared in every issue for many-a-year, terminating before the 1980s arrived. Each advert was a full page consisting of a photograph of a studly male being admired by the ladies and text explaining why they are such awesome consumers – why companies should be lining up to put adverts in Playboy to target these jetsetting big-spenders.
