NHS guidelines on drinking alcohol
According to the NHS, regularly drinking more than 14 units of alcohol a week risks damaging your health.
To keep health risks from alcohol to a low level if you drink most weeks:
men and women are advised not to drink more than 14 units a week on a regular basis
spread your drinking over 3 or more days if you regularly drink as much as 14 units a week
if you want to cut down, try to have several drink-free days each week

Donald Trump to open resort's second golf course on final day in Scotland
Donald Trump will officially open his new golf course in Aberdeenshire on the final day of his visit to Scotland. The US president's fifth day in Scotland on Tuesday follows a meeting and press conference with Sir Keir Starmer on Monday. Mr Trump will cut the ribbon on a second 18-hole course at his resort in Menie, Aberdeenshire before he flies back to the US on Air Force One. The president has played several rounds of golf during his Scottish trip, teeing off at his other resort in Turnberry, Ayrshire, on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. As they met at Turnberry for bilateral talks on trade and the situation in Gaza, Mr Trump and Sir Keir took part in what proved to be a lengthy press conference, with the president discussing a number of topics. The Republican Party leader spoke of his 'great love' for Scotland and said he wanted to see the nation 'thrive'. He returned to his long-running objections to wind turbines, branding them 'ugly monsters' and speaking of his admiration for North Sea oil and gas. Discussing the war in Ukraine, Mr Trump said he was 'very disappointed' in Russian President Vladimir Putin and suggested he would bring forward a deadline for Russia to agree to a ceasefire. The US president called Sir Sadiq Khan a 'nasty person', which prompted Sir Keir to come to the defence of his 'friend' the London Mayor. Construction of the new course in Menie began in 2023, with Mr Trump and his son Eric breaking ground on the project. Trump International Scotland claims the two courses will be the 'greatest 36 holes in golf'. The second course is expected to be dedicated to the president's mother, Mary Anne MacLeod, who was born on the Isle of Lewis. Critics say the Trump developments in Scotland have not delivered as many jobs as promised and work at the Menie site has caused environmental damage. Mr Trump and Sir Keir landed at Menie aboard Marine One, the president's helicopter, which was seen circling the new course before it touched down on Monday evening. The president then hosted a dinner at Menie with members of his family and guests including Scottish First Minister John Swinney. A demonstration took place in Balmedie, near the resort, on Monday. A small number of protesters sat at the roadside in the centre of the village, surrounded by cardboard signs bearing anti-Trump slogans.

The truth about Britain's 'dark economy': Map reveals how nearly 1,000 businesses were fined £37MILLION for hiring illegal workers last year
Nearly a thousand businesses the length and breadth of Britain were fined more than £37million for employing illegal workers last year. Firms received penalties of up to £360,000 as part of the clampdown, which exposes the vast size of the UK's 'dark economy'. The ability to work without papers is considered a major pull factor for migrants overstaying visas or arriving illegally on small boats and lorries. MailOnline used Home Office data covering the whole of 2024 to name and shame businesses that have been caught out. They range from car washes, barbers, salons, hotels and takeaways to haulage firms, care providers and home renovation services. The biggest fine of £360,000 was given to D&T Hand Car Wash in Leatherhead, followed by £280,000 for a south London real estate company called Arya Rae Ltd and £270,000 for nursing agency Wrexham Care in Staffordshire. Also among the top ten were two more car washes, two construction companies, a haulage firm, one care provider and one restaurant - Portofino in New Brighton, Merseyside. Fines issued by Immigration Enforcement teams totalled £37,625,000, although it is unclear how much of this money has been paid. Businesses found to be employing people illegally face fines of up to £45,000 per worker for the first offence and up to £60,000 per worker for repeat offenders. While many are small firms, inspectors have netted some major names, including the famous Royal China restaurant on London's Baker Street. The well-known eatery has paid fines totalling £470,000 after three visits by immigration officers between 2018 and 2024. At least 20 people were arrested during the raids, which found one staff member who was receiving an hourly rate of £6 while carrying out 66-hour weeks. The council later stripped the venue of its licence to serve alcohol - labelling it 'the worst licensed premises in Westminster'. The latest raid by the Home Office's Central London ICE (Immigration Compliance and Enforcement) took place on May 10 2024, with nine members of staff detained - almost a third of those on duty at the time. The Royal China Group was fined £360,000 on that occasion, with six Indonesian and two Malaysian men deemed to have overstayed visas, and a Chinese woman working in breach of hers. During a raid in Oldham, immigration Enforcement officers found makeshift shipping containers that had been turned into a kitchen and living room In June, the Home Office revealed its officers had visited more than 9,000 businesses in the previous 12 months for checks on paperwork and working conditions. More than 6,400 people were arrested during the raids. The Home Office said there were a range of industries exploiting migrant workers with businesses often subjecting migrants to 'squalid conditions and illegal working hours' and below-minimum wages. In one case, migrants were found living in appalling conditions inside shipping containers at a car salvage yard in Oldham, where they were paid just £2.33 an hour. The illegal workers, from Malaysia, Lithuania and Belarus, were working between 50 and 60 gruelling hours a week. Officers found makeshift sleeping cabins, fitted with small beds and bathrooms, as well as shipping containers that had been turned into a kitchen and living room. Immigration officials said the migrants were promised accommodation and three meals a day - but once these costs were deducted it is suspected they only received £500 a month, or £2.33 per hour. Last year, MailOnline witnessed more than 30 officers raiding a bedding and mattress factory before making a dozen arrests. Specialist immigration enforcement teams in six vans surrounded the large warehouse near Tipton in the West Midlands before rushing in just after 10am. Several workers started running away after spotting the officers and tried to hide between timber pallets and piles of mattresses before they were handcuffed. The name of the business, Giomani Designs, was on a sign outside, and its products - which include leather beds and outdoor rattan furniture - were sold direct to consumers online. Officers interviewed all the men at the factory before arresting seven Indian men for suspected illegal working. Those found to be legally employed were allowed to return to their shift.

Everton sell their women's team to parent company to splash the cash and ease PSR headache - following Chelsea and Aston Villa in controversial move
Everton have sold their women's team to their parent company in a move which will allow them to splash the cash on new signings and stave off profitability concerns. Records on Companies House, first reported by The Times, show that Everton Football Club Women Ltd has been transferred to a company called Roundhouse Capital Holdings, which is controlled by Everton's owner, businessman Dan Friedkin. Roundhouse was the firm The Friedkin Group used to buy the club in December. Insiders have reportedly said the move will help to ensure the women's team is a standalone entity capable of attracting its own investment from the United States. They accept, however, that it will also help the Toffees comply with PSR. Everton have become the third Premier League side to make the most of a controversial law which allows clubs to sell assets, such as their women's team, to related entities and then record the profit in their PSR calculations. Chelsea and Aston Villa were the first to take advantage of this particular ruling. However, both these clubs subsequently breached UEFA's stricter financial rules, which seek to deter teams from shifting around assets in this manner. According to The Times, the Premier League have vehemently insisted the law is not a loophole because they conduct rigorous fair value assessments. Everton were previously deducted six points for breaching PSR in the 2021-22 campaign and two points for a breach in 2022-23. Football finance expert Kieran Maguire, via The Times, said Chelsea's eyebrow-raising sale of their women's team for £200m, ten times their annual revenue, means Everton could put a valuation of £60m on their own women's side. The Toffees lost 3-0 to Bournemouth in their opening Premier League Summer Series match, leaving David Moyes to rue a lack of signings this summer. He said: 'Yes, but let's be fair, it's not just players missing. We need to sign a lot of players and we're hugely aware that we need to bring a bunch of new players in. 'I wish we could have had them earlier because it would have helped us now and helped us prepare them for the team. 'We're fully aware that we've come here with a really limited squad and numbers and quite a few injuries as well.'
