You can work out how many units there are in any drink by multiplying the total volume of a drink (in ml) by its ABV (measured as a percentage) and dividing the result by 1,000. For example, wine that says "12% ABV" or "alcohol volume 12%" means 12% of the volume of that drink is pure alcohol. Saveur Bière is France's market-leader for online beer sales, offering an ever growing range of bottled beers, beer pumps, beer glasses, and beer assortments. Our young, dynamic team has just one goal – customer satisfaction. units is equivalent to 6 pints of average-strength beer or 10 small glasses of lower-strength wine. Calculating units ABV is a measure of the amount of pure alcohol as a percentage of the total volume of liquid in a drink.

For example, a pint of strong lager contains 3 units of alcohol, whereas the same volume of lower-strength lager has just over 2 units. With so many different drinks and glass sizes, from shots to pints – not to mention bottles – it's easy to get confused about how many units are in your drink. This means that within an hour there should be, in theory, little or no alcohol left in the blood of an adult, although this will vary from person to person.Using units is a simpler way of representing a drink's alcohol content – usually expressed by the standard measure alcohol by volume (ABV). One unit equals 10ml or 8g of pure alcohol, which is around the amount of alcohol the average adult can process in an hour. The sale of alcohol to minors is strictly prohibited.
