About this tool

Pure alcohol mass = volume (ml) × ABV% × 0.789 g/ml. UK units = grams ÷ 8; US standard drink = 14 g; Australian = 10 g. Guidelines (UK: ≤14 units/week for everyone; US: ≤2/1 drinks per day for men/women) are public-health references, not medical advice. This tool is deliberately educational: it shows the arithmetic so labels and menus stop being opaque. If alcohol is a concern for you, talk to a healthcare professional.
