Alcohol and Our Health - Is there a safe drinking limit

Alcohol and Our Health - Is there a safe drinking limit

Jaime Rose Chambers
ByJaime Rose Chambers
27 August 2023
Alcohol has long been part of many cultures and is still an integral part of many celebrations and events. It’s often also abused and used in excess, at the least making you feel pretty awful, and at its worst, can be fatal to you and to others, such as from road accidents and domestic violence. After decades of research and data collection, The World Health Organisation has recently released a statement on the safest level of drinking and guidelines to keep you and others around you safe from alcohol harm.

Hospital Cover

No one wants to go to hospital, but if the worst happens, having Hospital cover can make a stressful experience easier and more comfortable. You may be thinking, “But why do I need private health insurance when we can have the public health system, Medicare?” Well, there’s a number of reasons why private hospital insurance is a better option than relying solely on the public system – one of the most important one being that your policy allows you to choose your own hospital and treating doctor. Plus, you’ll typically have a much shorter wait time for any elective surgeries that you may need in the future.
