Summary

• A&E doctor Javid Abdelmoneim is on a mission to find out the truth about alcohol.

• In January, the government released its new alcohol guidelines.

• For men, the recommended weekly limit was cut by a third to 14 units per week, equivalent to about seven pints of beer, bringing it in line with the amount recommended for women.

• So what is behind the change?

• This is just one question of many that Javid aims to answer as he explores the science of drinking and the new evidence for the health risks of alcohol.
