Units help us to calculate the quantity of pure alcohol in our drinks using its strength and size. One unit equals 10ml or 8g of pure alcohol. You can work out how much alcohol is in your drink - based on its strength and size - by using the following equation: strength (alcohol by volume or ABV) x the volume of the drink
The Alcohol Unit Calculator allows you to calculate the number of units in any alcoholic drink in any size drinking vessel. Simply enter the alcohol percentage of the drink and the vessel volume in millilitres (ml).
