To keep health risks from alcohol to a low level if you drink most weeks:
men and women are advised not to drink more than 14 units a week on a regular basis

I make £4k a month on the side doing a job nobody wants – there's hardly any competition & it's cheap to get started

The side-hustler charges up to £452 for one job CASHING IN I make £4k a month on the side doing a job nobody wants – there's hardly any competition & it's cheap to get started A SIDE HUSTLE whiz has revealed how he makes an extra £4000 a month, from a job nobody wants to do. Known only as @thegravecleaner online, the money-making pro cleans people's headstones for cash, alongside his regular job. 2 This man makes £4k a month from cleaning graves Credit: TikTok/@themoneyshark 2 There's hardly any competition for the job Credit: TikTok/@themoneyshark The cleaning pro charges £135 for a basic clean, and up to £452, for a full restoration. "You're probably thinking to yourself, no one's gonna pay for that. People don't even visit graves anymore. "Well, you're wrong, because he stays booked up", said TikToker @themoneyshark, who used the grave cleaner as an example of a great way to make extra cash. The Money Shark explained that one of the best things about this side hustle is that there isn't much competition, because "let's be real, not many people wanna offer this service." He added that it also doesn't cost much to get started, as you just need around £150 to purchase all of the supplies you need to get started. However, he warned that you need to be careful with what cleaning products you use, as some can damage the headstones. Sharing advice to anyone keen to start their own grave cleaning business, the Money Shark explained that its best to first scope out out if there is any competition in your local area. He added that if you already have your own cleaning business, adding grave cleaning on is a great way to make some extra cash. To advertise his business, the grave cleaner posts to Facebook, as well as filming himself cleaning graves to TikTok, where has has racked up 34,000 followers. The Money Shark's video has gone viral, racking up 1.2 million views and thousands of comments. I earn cash by selling 'actual rubbish' on eBay - I flogged a freebie I found on the floor by a bin for £10, it's crazy TikTok users raced to the video's comments section to share their thoughts on the side hustle. One person said: "Me and the hubby do this as a side hustle. "They definitely pay for this!" A second person said: "I'm a foreman at a cemetery, trust me, a lot of Markers and Monuments need it." Do I need to pay tax on my side hustle income? MANY people feeling strapped for cash are boosting their bank balance with a side hustle. The good news is, there are plenty of simple ways to earn some additional income - but you need to know the rules. When you're employed the company you work for takes the tax from your earnings and pays HMRC so you don't have to. But anyone earning extra cash, for example from selling things online or dog walking, may have to do it themselves. Stephen Moor, head of employment at law firm Ashfords, said: "Caution should be taken if you're earning an additional income, as this is likely to be taxable. "The side hustle could be treated as taxable trading income, which can include providing services or selling products." You can make a gross income of up to £1,000 a year tax-free via the trading allowance, but over this and you'll usually need to pay tax. Stephen added: "You need to register for a self-assessment at HMRC to ensure you are paying the correct amount of tax. "The applicable tax bands and the amount of tax you need to pay will depend on your income." If you fail to file a tax return you could end up with a surprise bill from HMRC later on asking you to pay the tax you owe - plus extra fees on top. A third person said: "I think it's a noble idea. "Respect for the ones that have passed and the ones left behind." A fourth added: "I like cleaning alone so I think this would be good for me."

Donald Trump vows to unleash ‘every tool in our arsenal' in price row with British drug firms

DONALD Trump insists he will unleash 'every tool in our arsenal' if British drug companies don't cut their prices within 60 days. The US President waged war with a total of seventeen firms demanding 'binding commitments' to match the lower prices offered to developing countries. Advertisement The move comes as the White House hit dozens of countries with a fresh slew of tariffs including punishing levies on neighbour Canada. Two UK drug firms, AstraZeneca and GSK, caught up in the pharma row saw their share price drop as Trump aims to lower prices for American citizens. The move could even have damaging consequences for the NHS whose leverage with suppliers due to its size could be reduced. Mr Trump has demanded the firms apply their 'most favoured nation' rates to Medicaid which is the health system for low-income Americans. Advertisement READ MORE ON DONALD TRUMP He said: 'Make no mistake: a collaborative effort towards achieving global pricing parity would be the most effective path for companies, the government, and American patients. In a letter to the firms, he said: 'But if you refuse to step up we will deploy every tool in our arsenal to protect American families from continued abusive drug pricing practices. 'Americans are demanding lower drug prices, and they need them today.' Around £16 billion was wiped off shares in the sector across Europe as fears grow higher prices in the rest of the world will fund the US reductions. Advertisement Most read in The Sun Exclusive The move comes after Trump said back in May that he wanted drug prices in the US to be reduced by 80 per cent. Moment Trump 'throws shade' at Meghan and Harry during Starmer press conference But experts appeared wary that he has the authority to reduce prices and a previous effort in his first term failed in court. At the time, he said the tactics were 'subsidising socialism' abroad in paying for the same pills from the same factories, which led to spiralling prices at home. The warning came as Mr Trump signed an executive order applying a wave of tariffs to 68 countries and the European Union. Advertisement Canada was hit with levies – up to 35 per cent from 25 per cent - due to its lack of co-operation in stopping flow of illegal drugs and fentanyl into America. Their PM Mark Carney said that his country was 'making historic investments in border security to arrest drag traffickers and end migrant smuggling'. Switzerland will also keep negotiating with the US after their tariff rate hit 39 per cent, which was far higher than they anticipated. 1 Donald Trump is demanding drug firms cut their prices for US customers Credit: Rex Advertisement
