"   You get home after a long day at work and what&amp;#039;s the first thing you do? Change into your onesie? Put on the latest episode of Eastenders or head to the fridge to crack open a bottle of pinot? According to a new study by doctors, successful career women who love nothing more than that post-work drink at home are risking their health as much as the weekend binge drinkers who make the headlines falling out of Tiger Tiger on a Saturday night. Public health lecturer Dr Jonathan Ling warned that &amp;quot;The people who drink most regularly are not young people but those who live in household where someone has a managerial or professional job.&amp;quot; OVERDONE IT? TRY THESE HANGOVER BUSTING FOODS And the problem is that the new breed of &amp;#039;white collar drinkers&amp;#039; justify how much they drink by how much they think they can tolerate rather than using the government guidelines. Of all the social groups, the study says they seem to disregard the harmful health social impact of booze the most. Some of the most common reasons for drinking at home emerged as the cost - because it was cheaper than a quick drink at the pub - and more worryingly that it was &amp;quot;easier getting an alcoholic drink out of the fridge than making a cup of tea&amp;quot;. Yoiks. So it seems that maybe that cheeky &amp;#039;reward&amp;#039; glass of wine at the end of the day (which, let&amp;#039;s face it risks becoming the whole bottle) might not be quite as harmless as we&amp;#039;ve been kidding ourselves. LIKE COCKTAILS? CHECK HOW MANY CALORIES YOU&amp;#039;RE CONSUMING WITH YOUR FAVES Not that we&amp;#039;re trying to preach or anything, but if, like us, you&amp;#039;ve had to register with the doctor recently and fill out one of those forms asking how much you drink you may have panicked a little bit .Not just because you knew the answer was probably &amp;#039;too much&amp;#039; but also because you may have realised that the answer was also &amp;#039;I have no idea&amp;#039;. It&amp;#039;s always tricky to know how much you&amp;#039;re really consuming, so here&amp;#039;s a gentle reminder. The NHS recommends women should not regularly drink more than 2-3 units a day and if you&amp;#039;ve had a heavy drinking session, avoid alcohol for 48 hours. One unity is half a standard (175 ml) glass of red wine, a third of a pint of beer and a single measure of most spirits. Still not sure? Work out your total here or check out this handy cheat sheet.
