So 20 units per week is about 0.5L of scotch. I drink about that much, or even a bit less, and most people think i am a drinker. Is that level of consumption actually safe?

This isn't medical advice: UK recommended limits are 3 to 4 units per day, with some days alcohol free and don't save the units up. You're drinking towards the upper range of that, but still described as "reduced risk" drinking. "Increased risk" drinking is between 3 to 4 units per day (so around 28 units a week) and 50 units a week. Over that and you're at "high risk" drinking. http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/Alcohol-misuse/Pages/Introduction.aspx http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/Alcohol-misuse/Pages/Introducti... You might want to make sure you have a couple of alcohol free days spread out in the week. You might want to make sure you're not regularly drinking more than that half liter of whiskey each week. The NHS has a huge amount of information: http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/alcohol/Pages/Alcoholhome.aspx http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/alcohol/Pages/Alcoholhome.aspx
