Wouldn't that take you over the weekly units target, sorry recommended maximum? Or have I got my sums wrong?

Hmmm...math has never been my forté :smile: so it is probably my error.

Here are the specific recs for the UK (the US are slightly less, France & other Med countries slightly more).

3-4 units of 8g for men

2- 3 units of 8g for women

In the UK, a 'unit' is defined as:

1) half a pint of ordinary strength lager/beer or cider at 3.5%

2) a small glass of wine at 9% abv

3) a 25ml pub measure of spirit (40%abv)

4) a 50ml glass of sherry, port or vermouth at 20%abv

What does this work out to?
