    Let's say suity nips down the pub and has 5/6 pints of guiness. Each pint is 2.5 units. So 6 pints is 18 units.

    Do that 4 times a week and lo you have had 72 units.

    Frightening really.

    Great idea. That way, the next time we meet in the pub you might be able to arrive a bit less ostentatiously.....

    The actress, who had battled alcoholism for years, used to drink between 150 and 210 units of alcohol a week.

    20-30 units a night, every night. What's that, the best part of a bottle a night?

    Edit: by bottle I mean spirits not becks/lambrini

    Poor woman .......

    I would have preferred to go on one last holiday to a country which legalises euthanasia though .... Not a nice way to go doing what she did ...
