Your AUDIT score was
0-7 Sensible drinking / Low risk
Your results according to the AUDIT questionnaire suggest that you are at a lower risk of harming your health, assuming that you have been honest in answering the questions. The drinking limits are 21 units or fewer a week for men or up to four units per day, and 14 units or fewer per week or up to three units a day for women. It is also recommended that you have no alcohol on at least 2 days per week.
Drinking consistently within these limits is called lower risk rather than “safe”, because drinking is never completely safe in all circumstances. If you are drinking in excess of 8 units per day for a man, and 6 units a day in women, but not necessarily exceeding the weekly “sensible drinking” limit, you are also at increased risk of harm.
Remember, it’s not ok to have your ‘weekly units’ in one go!!!
You don’t need to take any action, just carry on being aware of what you drink; it is easy to move up the risk categories without really noticing.
