How much alcohol is safe to drink? It is a question scientists have been trying to get to the bottom of for centuries, and now a survey exploring drinking advice around the world has found that the answer varies greatly depending on where you live.

What’s more, a “standard drink” in Iceland and the UK is 8g of alcohol, compared to 20g in Austria.
