A unit of alcohol is a standard measure used to quantify the amount of pure alcohol in a drink. In the United States, one unit is typically equivalent to 14 grams or 0.6 fluid ounces of pure alcohol, which is roughly the amount found in a 12-ounce beer, 5-ounce glass of wine, or 1.5-ounce shot of distilled spirits. Tracking units of alcohol helps individuals monitor their alcohol consumption levels.
