UK alcohol information
UK Alcohol Units Calculator
Convert a drink's volume and ABV into UK alcohol units. It is an alcohol-content calculation, not a driving or medical assessment.
Estimated alcohol content
0 UK units
- Pure alcohol
- 0 g
- Formula
- mL × ABV ÷ 1,000
A UK unit represents 8 g of pure alcohol. Results describe alcohol content only; laws and impairment vary by place and person.
Use the label, not assumptions
Container sizes and ABV differ widely, even within one drink category. Enter the amount and ABV printed on the product label for the most useful estimate.
For beer-specific examples, see how many standard drinks are in beer. You can also compare a UK-unit result with other national references in the standard drinks calculator.
