Perhaps this could be an ice breaker at a bar. At least he was interested in my health and offered a free breast exam.

women who drink more than 14 units of alcohol a week

I'm gawddam lucky if I get up to two a week! But come summer, I'll catch up! In fact, one good beach party and my weekly ration would be shot! (Or shots?)

Cheers!

Units. All this units nonsense. What is a unit? It's one measure, right? Okay then, I'll just order doubles from now on and the problem's solved.

Double cheers!
