Why do you say 'mopst drink alcopops'
That is not true at all.

Anyway - most bottled beers or pints of beer are approximately 5% so it is pretty much the same as an 'alcopops'

The only people who drink 'alcopops' are kids and students.
The only drink I see people drinking these days that could be considered an alcopop is Breezer or Smirnoff ice.

what are you trying to ask?

you seem outside the norm
Did you invent the word alcopops??
so why flaunt an absurbe notion.
Are you working for the advertising co??

Alcohol units aren't measured in beers. They just happen to be roughly equal to half a pint of weak lager or a small glass of wine. If you look on the side of alcoholic drinks now they will say something like "1.4 units", because the amount of units depends on the % alcohol in the drink and the volume in the container.

The point is that if you bothered to add up the alcohol you drank in a week then you could see if you were below or above the suggested maximum limits for men/women.

And I would say that 'most drink alcopops' is only true for people under the age of 20. Looking at the whole drinking population, 'most' people drink lager.
