Here is a guide for unit count so you can work out how much you drink.

So some rules:

----
a) Please be honest - this is an anonymous poll.
b) See the guide below to work out how many units you drink
-----

So what's a unit?

One unit is 10ml or 8g of pure alcohol, which is the amount of pure alcohol in a 25ml single measure of spirits (alcohol by volume, or ABV, 40%), a third of a pint of beer (ABV 5-6%) or half a standard (175ml) glass of red wine (ABV 12%).

Beer, lager, cider
1 pint bitter (4% ABV, eg John Smith's) = 2.27 units
1 pint lager (5% ABV, eg Heineken) = 2.84 units
1 pint cider (4.5% ABV, eg Strongbow ) = 2.56 units

Wine
125ml glass Champagne (12% ABV, eg Veuve Clicquot) = 1.5 units
125ml glass dry white wine (12% ABV, eg Montana Sauvignon Blanc) = 1.61 units
250ml glass = 3.23 units
125ml glass red wine (13% ABV, eg Campo Viejo Rioja) = 1.63 units
250ml glass = 3.25 units

Spirits
25ml (a single) gin (37.5% ABV, eg Gordon's) = 0.94 units
25ml (a single) vodka (37.5% ABV, eg Smirnoff Red) = 0.94 units
25ml (a single) rum (37.5% ABV, eg Bacardi) = 0.94 units

Liqueurs
50ml (a single) cream liqueur (37.5% ABV, eg Bailey's) = 0.85 units
50ml (a single) Cointreau (40% ABV) = 1.88 units

Sorry Bob, I've tried drinking all of that included in the list you gave but just could not achieve it in the time stated (1 week). Any chance of an extension - and a low interest loan off the forum to finance it?
