The new 6 drink rule is a set of guidelines issued by the U.K. government to help reduce alcohol-related harm and improve public health. The rule states that adults should not regularly drink more than six drinks a day and should have several alcohol-free days each week. The rule was introduced in January 2020, and it applies to all adults, regardless of their age or gender.
What Does the Rule Mean?
The 6 drink rule means that adults should not regularly consume more than six alcoholic drinks in a day. A drink is defined as 10ml or 8g of pure alcohol. This means that a pint of beer or a single measure of spirits both contain one alcoholic drink. Regular drinking is defined as drinking more than six drinks on more than five days in a week.
What Are the Benefits of the Rule?
The rule is designed to reduce alcohol-related health problems and reduce the risk of accidents and injuries caused by drinking. It also encourages people to make healthier choices about their drinking habits and to drink responsibly.
What Are the Consequences of Breaking the Rule?
Breaking the 6 drink rule carries no legal repercussions, but it can still have serious health consequences. People who regularly drink more than six drinks a day are at a higher risk of developing physical and mental health problems, as well as alcohol-related illnesses such as liver disease.

The new 6 drink rule is a policy introduced by the UK government in order to reduce alcohol-related harm and improve public health. The policy states that adults should not drink more than 6 units of alcohol in any one day. This is equivalent to 2 pints of beer, 2 small glasses of wine, or 6 single measures of spirits. It is advised that people should have at least 2 or 3 alcohol-free days each week, and spread their drinking over several days. The new 6 drink rule is a public health measure designed to reduce the risks associated with excessive drinking, such as liver disease, cancer, and alcohol-related accidents.

The new 6 drink rule applies to restaurants, bars, and other licensed premises in the UK. It requires customers to buy no more than 6 alcoholic drinks in a single transaction, with the intention of reducing excessive drinking and promoting responsible alcohol consumption. The rule applies to individual drinks as well as multi-packs and applies to all alcoholic beverages, including beer, wine, and spirits. Consumption of the purchased drinks must take place on the premises, and the staff must keep an accurate record of all transactions. The 6 drink rule is in place to provide a safer environment for premises and its customers.
