About drinking a litre of vokda, yes but not in the space of 2-3 hours more like 8 hours.

 

[masona]

That's 26 units in a day!

 

[markie]

Well i'm a big guy 20 stone 6f 2". I can have a full bottle and feel ok ( as in not falling all over ).

 

[masona]

Wow, I'll keep my nose out of it then

That's 26 units in a day!

1 litre or 1000 cc @ 40% Alcohol by volume (ABV) = 400 cc alcohol plus 600 cc of at least flavoured water.

10 cc of A (7.9 gm) = 1 uk unit, therefore 1 litre booze at 40% ABV contains 40 UK units.

I pointed out the Schweppes 'measuring cap' found on the likes of Canada dry and Indian tonic ... gives 35 mL or cc, thus at 40% ABV filling to the mark includes 14 cc alcohol or 1.4 UK units...

Here are useful calculators.

Take care when you nip off to Japan and fancy a nip or three...

ahh, I got the figure from the drinkaware calculator.

1000 divided 35ml = approximately 26 - 28 units

A bottle of Vodka is approx 37% so does that mean the whole bottle is 37% or each 37% of 35ml?

eg half of bottle 17.5%

or is it always 37% however much you drink

If the ABV is 40% then 4/10 of the bottled liquid is alcohol.

Pour 250cc into a glass, 100cc is alcohol, 150cc basically water and taste additives.
Check the calculators - easy to use.

Bought locally, most, if not all, beer/lager bottles 'n cans actually state the number of alcohol units contained.


Just checked
Gordon's original special dry London gin for UK 37.5% BV 700cc bottle marked as 26.3 units 0.375 x 700 = 262.5cc alcohol divide by 10 = 26.25 or 26.3 units... Total fluid per unit 700 / 26.3 = 26.61cc - Not much is it?
But 'Gordon's original special London dry gin' bought at duty free shop (Amsterdam) 47.3% BV in 1 Litre bottle contains 473 cc of alcohol or 47.3 units thus 1000 / 47.3 = 21.14cc of fluid holding 1 UK unit... That old 'export' quality again hey?

Mas' I fink you are getting me 'at it' !

UK 100% proof = USA 114% proof = 57.1% Alcohol By Volume
USA 100% proof = UK 87.6% proof = 50% ABV

Slightly flawed, don't forget that 50cc of ethanol mixed with 50cc of water does not result in 100cc

Markie wouldn't be worried having downed a full bottle of Vodka in 8 hrs !!

Is this almost akin to adding sand to rocks? A drum full of rocks plus half a drum of sand, shaken, not stirred, would together have a volume less than 1.5 drums...
