MaxineA 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.

The body processes alcohol at a fixed rate, and drinking water will not speed up this process. Time is the only way to decrease blood alcohol concentration as the body metabolizes the alcohol.
What is the link between percentage by volume and units of alcohol?
Percentage by volume (ABV) represents the amount of alcohol present in a beverage compared to the total volume. Units of alcohol are a measure used to quantify the amount of pure alcohol consumed. To calculate units of alcohol, you multiply the volume of the drink in ml by the ABV percentage and divide by 1000. This gives you the amount of pure alcohol in the drink, measured in units.
