    It is possible to drink less and enjoy it more, by being more mindful of our drinking we can cut back or even abstain for Dry July.Even if giving up alcohol for a month isn’t your thing, you can cut down or opt for few alcohol free days in the week, which is good for your health.

    According to neuropsychologist Dr Nicola Gates from the University of NSW,it is possible to manage your alcohol intake by getting a handle on how much alcohol you really need.

    Do you really know how many standard drinks are in that one “glass” of wine you poured yourself? Most people don’t.

    For example Gates explains that while 10g of sauvignon blanc at around 11 per cent alcohol equates to around 100mls of wine, 10g of a more potent red wine (around 14 or 15 per cent alcohol) is more like 88 mls.

    Gates recommends looking on the bottle or pack to see how many standard drinks it contains. If a bottle of red wine at 14 per cent alcohol says it contains 8.5 standard drinks (rather than the 7.5 standard drinks in a bottle of white at 11 per cent), it’s best to pour a smaller glass.

  • Should You Be Drinking Alcohol if You’re Breastfeeding?’

    Parents in an American town are facing charges of neglect after the mother drank beer at a bar while breastfeeding.

    While a glass of wine may help with the stress of being a new mother, is it safe for the baby?

    According to many experts alcohol goes back and forth between breast milk and the mother’s blood as though it were water, so if you have alcohol in your blood, you’ll have it in your milk.

    But drinking while pregnant isn’t the same as drinking when breastfeeding. In the uterus, a mother is sharing her bloodstream with her baby; if she’s drunk, the baby is even more drunk because they’re so small and their liver is still developing. But  breast milk only contains the same amount of alcohol as the bloodstream.
