The Independent revisits an article from 2012 written to coincide with the Diamond Jubilee of The Queen.
According to Margaret Rhodes, the Queen's cousin, HM's alcohol intake never varies. She takes a gin and Dubonnet before lunch, with a slice of lemon and a lot of ice. She will take wine with lunch and a dry Martini and a glass of champagne in the evening.
That comes to 6 units per day, which would make Her Majesty a binge drinker by Nanny's standards.
Nanny states that men and women should not exceed 14 units per week.
If Rhodes is correct, and this is indeed how much Queen Elizabeth drinks per day, then she is on 40.6 units per week.
It warms the cockles of my heart to learn the Her Majesty is sticking two fingers up to Nanny.

ReplyDeleteMy impression is that the Queen Mum, bless her, was always quietly lit. I think she had dry time between 5.00 and 6.30pm.
