How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the volume of alcohol consumed in milliliters (mL). For example, if you drink a 500mL bottle of beer, enter 500.
  2. Enter the alcohol by volume (ABV) percentage of the drink. For example, most standard beers have an ABV of around 5%.

Understanding Units

A "unit" is a standard measure of alcohol in the UK, defined as containing 10 grams of pure alcohol. It's used to estimate alcohol consumption and its potential effects. For example:

  • A standard glass (125mL) of wine at 13% ABV ≈ 1.7 units
  • A pint (568mL) of beer at 5% ABV ≈ 2.8 units
  • A small shot (25mL) of spirits at 40% ABV ≈ 1 unit

Why Use This Calculator?

This calculator helps you:

  • Estimate your alcohol consumption in standard units
  • Understand the amount of alcohol in different drinks
  • Monitor your alcohol intake for health and safety purposes
  • Make informed decisions about drinking
