Meet Neil...
Neil is 32 years old, married and works full time in engineering. He has 2 young
children and his wife is a full time Mum.
How much does Neil drink every week?
Neil has a couple of cans of beer each night during the week. At weekends he may
add wine and a few more beers to that and a couple of whiskeys on a Saturday night.
Neil drinks on average between 30 and 40 units a week.
Is Neil over the recommended levels?
Neil drinks twice his weekly recommended intake and consumes 2865 calories in the
process of doingthis. Most of the units he drinks are over the weekend (like the
majority of us). However you can’t save your units up!
Problems Neil has recently had:
Neil hasn’t had any noticeable problems apart from his weight gain and he blames
this mostly on stodgy food and a lack of exercise.
What is Neil going to do?
Although he doesn’t want to give up drinking, Neil would like to trim down his weight
a little and be a bit more energetic.

the side with a beer in my hand."
