â„šī¸UK Alcohol Guidelines

📏 What is a unit?

1 UK unit = 10ml (8g) of pure alcohol. A 568ml pint of 4% beer = 2.3 units. A 250ml glass of 13% wine = 3.3 units.

📋 NHS Guidelines
  • â€ĸ Max 14 units per week (men & women)
  • â€ĸ No more than 6 units in a single session
  • â€ĸ Spread drinking over 3+ days per week
  • â€ĸ Have alcohol-free days each week
âąī¸ Clearing alcohol

Your liver processes approximately 1 unit per hour. Coffee, water, and sleep do not speed this up.

đŸ”Ĩ Calorie note

Alcohol contains 7 kcal per gram — almost as much as fat (9 kcal/g). A pint of 4% beer ≈ 180 kcal. A large glass of wine ≈ 228 kcal.
