Cocktail Unit Counter
Count UK alcohol units in one cocktail or a round of cocktails, including spirit and liqueur/wine components.
What this means
The UK 14-unit weekly guideline is labelled as UK-specific; local guidance differs.
Formula used
UK units = ABV% x volume ml / 1000, summed per drink and multiplied by drink count.
Worked example
A margarita with 50ml tequila and 25ml triple sec at 40%, two drinks, is 6 UK units total.
Common questions
Can I use this internationally?
Yes. Currency selectors are display-only unless a tool explicitly says otherwise; no currency conversion is performed.
How exact is the result?
It follows the published Technofatty formula for this tool, but real life can add fees, rules, timing quirks, and context.
Plain-English summary
Margarita is 3 units each; 2 is 6.
This section translates the result into a short, direct takeaway rather than leaving the page at a bare number.
