The habit of enjoying a glass of wine after work is just as bad as drinking three cups of vodka , according to British Minister of Public Health Duncan Selbie. He warned that alcohol was becoming a "silent killer" for the working-class British population. The deaths from liver disease among working-age people in the UK have increased by 500% since the 1970s, because many people after returning home have poured a glass of wine without realizing it. they are absorbing so much alcohol ".

Mr. Selbie said liver disease "are silent killers, because up to 75 percent of people with cirrhosis are found only when they are admitted to the hospital". He also added that the disease "is completely preventable" , but the leading cause of disease is that alcohol is difficult to control. "For example, a large glass of wine is similar to the three cups of vodka, so it's easy to fill a glass of wine without being aware of how much alcohol is in it."

Tracey Crouch, a Conservative MP, said: "The middle-class Britons are returning home every night and rewarding themselves with a glass of wine during the meal, and most likely a second glass later. That, without realizing that gradually the amount of alcohol they absorb in a week will be greater than the allowed level. "

" Many people will think that drinking a glass of wine is completely different from taking out three cups of vodka, but that is why it is important to specify the alcohol content on the packaging - everyone knows me? Should drink three cups of vodka or eat six donuts at once - but they can pour themselves a big glass of wine instead of a small cup. "

Last week, the medical journal The Glancet recommended that doctors recommend their patients to undergo regular liver tests when the problem of middle-class alcoholism is turning Britain into the center of the wine in Europe. Experienced doctors in the UK also claim that too many people are considering alcohol as a "lifestyle choice, like Armani jeans" , and the UK is currently the only country (with with Finland) in Western Europe, the proportion of people with liver disease continues to increase.

British MPs believe that drinking alcohol at a public bar with controlled doses is safer than buying large quantities of "cheap" alcohol in supermarkets and drinking "blameless" . They also warn that drinking alcohol at home is a problem in the middle class in the UK, who have formed a habit of drinking one or two glasses of wine a day.

"Clear evidence shows where the amount of drinks is controlled, and employers must refuse to serve those who drink too much, will be suitable places for people to use drinks with alcohol ".

"What the British government needs to do now is to prevent bars from becoming supermarkets, where alcohol is being sold at cheap prices in uncontrolled ways and then people use them in separate places. community".

So if you are planning to choose a lifestyle like those in European and American films, with the habit of rewarding yourself with a glass of wine after hard working hours, think again, or at least So do it in a crowded place, like a bar.
