A unit of alcohol is the amount of alcohol that is in one (12-oz or 16-oz) beer, one (6-oz) glass of wine, or one shot of hard liquor. 12 ounces (approx. 375ml) of 5% beer will contain about 18ml of pure alcohol; that is approximately one unit.

Can you dilute alcohol in the system by drinking water twenty four hours later?

No, on two reasons. 1.) Your body metabolises 1 unit of alcohol an hour. 1 unit is equivalent to one measure of spirits or half a pint of beer. By the time 24 hours hours has passed, most of the alcohol will have already been metabolised in your body, unless you drank more than 24 units. 2.) Drinking water does not affect the rate of alcohol breakdown at all. The only thing it will serve to do is to reduce the risk of dehydration if water is consumed as you drink 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.
