4.4.07 Lord S wrote [snip] “ . . . a small glass of wine is 2 units, . . ”.
I thought this sounded too much, checked on a web site, and found the following – dunno if it is right or not but it is more like what I thought I had read befofe:
“

What's a unit?
A UK unit is 10ml or 8 grams of pure alcohol. The number of units in a drink depends on what you're drinking - how strong it is and how much there is. You may have seen examples of drinks that contain one unit, but these examples are often out of date, for instance:
Half a pint of 3.5% beer/lager/cider is one unit
BUT many continental lagers are closer to 5% while extra strong lagers can be as strong as 9%!
One small (125 ml) glass of wine at 9% is one unit
BUT who uses small glasses? Certainly not pubs and probably not at home either. Plus most wines are now about 11-13%.”
