It's a rather imprecise message to give -- is the limit two units per day or three? Giving a range of "2 to 3" is meaningless. And what is "regularly" supposed to mean? If I get plastered every year on new year's eve, that's regular, isn't it?

Bettter guidelines would be more precise, e.g.: no more than 4 units per day, and no more than 15 units per week. (I've no idea if those limits are sensible, it's just an example).

Not that I take alcohol limits seriously; the limit is 3-4 per day for men, which seems ridiculously low when 2 pints of Budvar is something like 5.2 units. I guess that makes me a binge drinker, then.
