16-19 Harmful Drinking
The harmful drinking category applies to people drinking over medically recommended levels, probably at somewhat higher levels than in hazardous drinking. It suggests that you are at higher risk of harming your health as a result of drinking. You are drinking 50+ units a week for a man and 35+ units a week for a woman.
The problems that are being detected by you at this stage may be acute, such as an alcohol-related accident, acute pancreatitis or acute blood poisoning. You are likely to have experienced feeling tired or depressed, gaining weight or having periods of memory loss when drinking. You may be sleeping poorly or having sexual difficulties.
If you are in this category, the amount you are drinking is likely to be causing you harm, in fact it might be having a bad effect that you are not aware of. You have a difficult decision to make: should I cut down on my drinking?
