1 unit of alcohol is 8 grams.
% alcohol means how many grams of alcohol in 100mls.
So, if a drink has 5% alcohol, it means there& #39;s 5g in 100mls of the drink. For 60cl (600mls) bottles, that will give us 30 grams.

Examples of beverages and alcohol content
Your average Nigerian beer contains about 5 to 6% alcohol.
Using 5.5%, alcohol content in grams (for 60cl bottles) will be 33 grams = 4.125 units of alcohol.
1 beer bottle = 4 units of alcohol
Weekly limit = 14 units = 3 and half bottles.
