Answers:
There is a formula as follows:
One unit of alcohol is one shot (25ml) of a 40% spirit!.
To work out the number of units in a glass or bottle of ANY alcoholic drink:
Multiply the volume in mls by the %ABV and then divide that answer by 1000!.
Examples
25ml (shot) of 40% vodka = (25 x 40)/1000 = 1 unit
250ml glass of 12% wine = (250 x 12)/1000 = 3 units
500ml glass of 5% beer = (500 x 5)/1000 = 2!.5 units
700ml bottle of 40% scotch = (700 x 40)/1000 = 28 units
That's how units of alcohol work and it can be a useful tool!.
(40% ABV = 80 proof by the way so don't use proof as it
confuses things, just use %ABV)Www@FoodAQ@Com

I believe now that by law all bottles/cans have to state how many units are in the drink!.
On average the best way to work it out is that 1 unit = half pint beer/small glass of wine/ single spirit measure!.
And if my brain serves me correctly women are meant to have no more than 18 units a week and men 21 units a week!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
