      ‘no safe level of alcohol’, but Lancet study means 25,000 light drinkers need annual equivalent of 400,000 bottles of gin for one serious health problem among them each year https://medium.com/wintoncentre/the-risks-of-alcohol-again-2ae8cb006a4a …

      Did you check the comments on this tweet? Inclu @GidMK "It's odd, because you are a statistician using large numbers to mislead. 400,000 bottles of gin sounds like a lot, but depending on estimates that's between half and a third of the average alcohol consumption for a UK adult

      400,000 bottles = 1 standard drink per day for 25,000 people Average UK consumption (depending on source) = 2-3 standard drinks per day 25,000 people drinking average UK consumption = ~800,000-1,200,000 bottles per year

      Replying to @GidMK @dianehmartin and

      Groan: “400,000 bottles of gin” is “between half and a third of the average alcohol consumption for a UK adult”. So you’re claiming adults drink on average over 35 bottles of gin per day. They don’t.
