    How many units of alcohol do you drink in a week? (7 days!)

    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?
