To find out how many units you're drinking, take the quantity of liquid consumption and multiply by the ABV and then divide by 1,000. Example one, a 440ml can of beer with an ABV 5% is 440 x 5 = 2,200 / 1,000 = 2.2 units. Example two, a bottle of wine at ABV 13.5% is 750 x 13.5 = 10,125 / 1,000 = 10.13 units. If there are six glasses in a bottle, then 10,125 / 6 / 1,000 = 1.67 units. I thought it was 21 units for men, however updated in 2016, the present UK alcohol guidelines stipulate that *both* men and women should not consume more than 14 units a week.

Quantities are expressed in terms of customary standard-sized drinks. The standard drink here is one twelve-ounce bottle of regular (5% alcohol) beer, 5 ounces of table wine (12%), or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor (40%). https://loom.ly/LbLgmvU
