After all, some experts say alcohol-free days are as important as sticking to the weekly daily recommended limits.But the bad news for weekend ­drinkers is you could actually be doing yourself more harm than good.  Toasting the weekend: But saving drinking alcohol till then could be worst for you than spreading it out over the weekThat’s the ­suggestion from a controversial study recently published in the British ­Medical Journal. Researchers at Toulouse University in France compared the drinking habits of middle-aged men in three towns in France with Belfast, Northern Ireland.The Frenchmen drank much more overall — about 30 units a week — but the Ulstermen, who drank around 22 units a week, were twice as likely either to have a heart attack or die from one.  But that’s because the French diet is so much healthier, you think. In fact, the Frenchmen in the study had higher blood pressure, more of them had diabetes and both groups had the same cholesterol levels. The significant difference, say the researchers, was that the French drank little and often throughout the week, which seemed to protect their hearts. Meanwhile, the Ulstermen downed most of their weekly total in a couple of days at the weekend — they were ­effectively binge-drinking. For most of us, bingeing conjures up images of staggering out of a night club at 2am, your stomach awash with 30-plus units of vodka and beer. What many people don’t ­realise is that officially you are ‘bingeing’ if you have twice your daily allowance in the course of one day.For women, the recommended safe daily intake is three units — about one-and-a-half glasses of wine. So drink three or four glasses a night and you’re a binger. Know your limits: For women, the recommended safe daily intake is three units - about one-and-a-half glasses of wineFor men, the safe amount is four units: ‘bingeing’ starts at about five glasses of wine.So, what is it a...
