Men's Voice

In your web page it said about the safe alcohol limit:
"The safe level for men is no more than 3-4 units a day, and less than 21 units a week. "

So, what is "1 unit"?

Thanks.

The amount of alcohol in a drink in terms of "units" can be calculated from the volume and the alcohol concentration of the drink using the formula:
Drink volume (ml) x alcohol content (percentage by volume) / 1000
In case of beer having 5% alcohol by volume, 200 ml of beer contains approximately 1 unit of alcohol. To safeguard your health, know how much you drink and be in control.
