Do you stick to the recommended allocation of alcoholic units ?

men and women are advised not to drink more than 14 units a week on a regular basis

I’m curious to know how a “unit” is calculated. I don’t drink more than about 2-4 ozs of bourbon (over ice) once a week, if that. But I know people who drink more at a time, more often.

Strength (ABV) x volume (ml) ÷ 1,000 = units

@Scarfface I don’t know anyone who takes the time to measure in such increments, tbh. They generally check calories, alcohol and sugar content.

@bijouxbroussard I look at units, it is a better way to judge how drunk you'll get.
