A unit is the measure of the amount of alcohol in a drink. One UK unit is 10 ml or eight grams of pure alcohol. A typical pint of ale contains one or two units, whilst a glass of wine can contain anything from around one and a half to three units, depending on the size of the glass and the strength of the wine.
