Official health guidelines from the UK Chief Medical Officers recommend that both men and women regularly drink no more than 14 units of alcohol a week to keep health risks low. This advice raises a key question for many people: what do 14 units look like in real terms? Understanding the physical amount of drinks this represents is essential for managing alcohol consumption responsibly.

According to Drinkcoach, a standard 275ml bottle of a 4% ABV alcopop contains around 1.1 units of alcohol. However, the exact number of units can vary significantly depending on the volume and alcohol by volume (ABV), making it crucial to know how to calculate how many units are in an alcopop.

A standard small 125ml glass of 14% ABV wine contains 1.75 units of alcohol. Understanding exactly how many units are in a small glass of 14% wine is essential for anyone monitoring their intake according to health guidelines.
