Safe drinking guidelines to be re-examined as more people drink at home

Safe drinking guidelines are to be re-examined over concern about the amount of alcohol people are consuming at home.

The guidelines say a maximum of 17 standard drinks for men and 11 units for women each week is safe. They were last reviewed in 2009.
