A new research project has confirmed the amount of alcohol a man drinks hits a peak when he's about 25.

The British study shows consumption rises sharply in the teenage years, as social and corporate events revolve around drinking.

Most men are guzzling around 23 units a week by then.

Women's drinking follows a similar pattern, but volumes consumed tend to be smaller.
