Information

The rapid rise in the prevalence of chronic diseases represents one of the major health challenges for the coming century. Cancer, cardiovascular disease and diabetes accounted for the majority of deaths in Lambton County in 2000. These diseases reduce not only the quantity but also the quality of our lives. Until recently, we thought of these diseases as medical conditions that struck an unfortunate few, who were occasionally saved by medical miracles. Now, guided by scientific research, we know that many of these diseases can be prevented by making positive lifestyle changes. The purpose of this manual is to help worksites implement healthy living programs and policies. The healthy living programs focus on the four common preventable risk factors for chronic disease: tobacco use, physical inactivity, unhealthy eating and stress.

What is a Unit of Alcohol?

Sensible drinking

If you drink moderate amounts of alcohol, then you do not have a problem in terms of
sensible drinking.

However, many people think they drink sensibly when it fact they don’t.

It is advised by medical experts that men generally should not drink more than three to four units of alcohol per day. Women, on the other hand, should drink no more than two to three units of alcohol per day.









What is a unit of alcohol?

1 Unit of Alcohol = 10ml of pure alcohol

A rough estimate about this is:

• 1 measure of spirits = 1 unit
• 1 pint of ordinary lager, bitter or cider,
175ml glass of wine = 2 units
• 1 pint of strong lager = 3 units
• many wines at approximately 11 / 12%
alcohol with a small glass as a measure
equates to 1.5 units
