If you’re looking for a Unit of Drink Calculator, I use this one;

A Definition of “A Standard drink” is here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_drink
Standard drinks as defined by various countries

What are the recommended safe limits of alcohol?
- Men should drink no more than 21 units of alcohol per week, no more than four units in any one day, and have at least two alcohol-free days a week.
- Women should drink no more than 14 units of alcohol per week, no more than three units in any one day, and have at least two alcohol-free days a week.
- Pregnant women. Advice from the Department of Health states that … “pregnant women or women trying to conceive should not drink alcohol at all. If they do choose to drink, to minimise the risk to the baby, they should not drink more than 1-2 units of alcohol once or twice a week and should not get drunk”
Calories in Beer
Where I write about “Calories in beer” I might mention “Per serve” being, in my thinking, a 355ml or 12FL Oz serve, or I’ll just quess the total amount in the bottle.
