22.01.2022 On the sixth day of Christmas, Myhealth said to me... Gift Yourself With Greater Control This Holiday Season! It’s no surprise that the holiday season can get a little rowdy with all the great company, food and drinks. Amongst this fun, we can often lose track of how much alcohol we are really consuming. ... To help you drink responsibly and stay in control this holiday season, here are some pro-tips from the Myhealth team; Tip 1: Count your standard drinks. - Remember, ONE standard drink contains 10 grams of alcohol. This could be a total of 5 glasses, or a single shot... Always be mindful and ask your bartender if you are ever in doubt. Tip 2: Pace yourself. - You know your body best. Trust your gut and take your time when drinking. Tip 3: Try low-alcohol alternatives. - Not all drinks contain the same amount of alcohol, to help with the tips above, try opting for lighter options. Always remember that your GP is there to assist you with all your health concerns, including alcohol consumption queries. - Nurse Melissa, Myhealth Macarthur Square
