How to calculate alcohol units
An alcohol unit is a measure defined as a portion of an alcoholic beverage that contains exactly 10 ml (8 g) of pure ethyl alcohol. Alcohol units have been used, especially in the United Kingdom, since 1987 to help people monitor their drinking and provide health guidelines regarding safe alcohol consumption. The US and Australia prefer to use the term 'standard drink'. One unit of alcohol is also the amount that an average, healthy adult body can break down within an hour.
To calculate the number of alcohol units in a drink, use the following formula:
Number of units in a drink = total volume of a drink (in millilitres) x ABV (percentage)/1000
ABV, or alcohol by volume, is a measure of pure alcohol as a percentage of the total volume of liquid in a drink. ABV is typically represented in terms of the standard measure of alcohol by volume and can be found on cans and bottle labels, frequently printed as "vol" or "alcohol volume".
For example, a pint of Peroni Nastro Azzurro Piccola, a lager with a typical ABV strength of 5.1%, contains 2.90 UK units of alcohol when served in a UK pint (568 ml). This is equivalent to 1.63 US standard measures of alcohol and 22.9 g of pure alcohol per UK pint. When served in a 12-ounce serving (355 ml), the same beer contains 1.81 UK units of alcohol, or 1.02 US standard measures of alcohol and 14.3 g of pure alcohol.
It is important to note that the number of units will vary based on different preparations of beer/lager. For example, a pint of ordinary strength lager typically contains 2 units, while a pint of strong lager contains 3 units. Additionally, the term 'unit' can vary between countries, with some countries' units containing more pure alcohol than others.
Medical standards recommend limiting alcohol consumption to reduce health risks. For men, it is recommended to limit consumption to 3-4 units per day, while for women, it is recommended to limit consumption to 2-3 units per day. To cut down on alcohol consumption, it is advised to have several drink-free days every week.

Alcohol unit guidelines
The number of alcohol units in a pint of Peroni depends on the type of Peroni and the size of the pint.
Peroni Nastro Azzurro Piccola is a lager with a 5.1% ABV, which is classified as a 'stronger' beer. When served in a UK pint (568 ml), it contains 2.90 UK units of alcohol. When served in a US pint (473 ml), it contains 2.41 UK units of alcohol.
Peroni Red is a lager with a 4.7% ABV, which is classified as a 'medium strength' beer. When served in a UK pint (568 ml), it contains 2.67 UK units of alcohol. When served in a US pint (473 ml), it contains 2.22 UK units of alcohol.
Peroni Ambra is a lager with a 6.0% ABV, which is classified as a 'stronger' beer. When served in a UK pint (568 ml), it contains 3.41 UK units of alcohol. When served in a US pint (473 ml), it contains 2.84 UK units of alcohol.
In general, the number of units in a drink depends on the size and strength of the drink. One unit of alcohol is equivalent to one half-pint of 'regular' beer, lager, or cider, half a small glass of wine, one single measure of spirits, one small glass of sherry, or one single measure of aperitifs. Drinks that contain more than one unit include one pint of 'regular' beer, lager, or cider (2 units), one pint of 'strong' or 'premium' beer, lager, or cider (3 units), one Alcopop or a 275ml bottle of regular lager (1.5 units), one 440ml can of 'regular' lager or cider (2 units), one 440ml can of 'super-strength' lager (3 units), one 250ml glass of 12% wine (3 units), and one 75cl bottle of 12% wine (9 units).
To work out how many units are in any drink, multiply the total volume of the drink (in ml) by its ABV (measured as a percentage) and divide the result by 1,000.
Regarding alcohol unit guidelines, there is no 'safe' level of alcohol consumption, and any reduction in alcohol intake is considered a health benefit. The UK CMOs' low-risk guidelines for alcohol consumption recommend that, to keep health risks at a low level, adults should not drink more than 14 units per week. This level of consumption represents a low risk of long-term or short-term health harm for healthy adults. For those who drink up to 14 units per week, it is best to spread this evenly over 3 days or more and include several alcohol-free days each week. Drinking more than 14 units per week increases the risk of problems with the heart, liver, and digestive system, as well as the risk of cancer and mental health issues. Pregnant women or those planning a pregnancy should avoid alcohol consumption entirely to minimize risks to the baby. An alcohol-free childhood is the healthiest and safest option for young people.
