Checking a whisky’s ABV (alcohol by volume) tells you what percentage of the drink is made up of alcohol. And if you drink at home, a good way to avoid accidentally pouring too much and limit how many units of alcohol you have is by using a measuring cup. But these days many pubs and bars have switched to 35ml or 50ml measures – meaning you might be having a lot more alcohol without realising.

Units and calories in whisky mount up quickly, especially when consuming in quantities over a 25ml single measure. That means no more than 14 units a week, spread over three or more days, with several drink-free days - and no bingeing. The malt at the heart of the Bell's blend is rich, spiced and nutty, and comes from our home, the Blair Athol distillery.

If you drink whisky as part of a mixed drink or a cocktail, it’s worth remembering there can be several measures – even if the drink doesn’t taste particularly strong.That means forty percent of the drink is pure alcohol - and if the ABV is higher, the percentage of alcohol is higher too. Regularly drinking more than the low risk drinking guidelines increases your risk of serious health conditions including heart problems, high blood pressure and poor mental health. As well as having a high calorie content on its own, if you mix whisky with a sugary mixer like lemonade or ginger beer, you could end up drinking far more calories than you realise.
