Size and strength both matter

Alcohol by volume (ABV) states how much of a drink’s volume is alcohol. Two equal-size drinks can therefore contain different amounts of alcohol. Standard-drink definitions also vary by country. Keep the original size and ABV when discussing your intake instead of relying on the word “glass.”

An alcohol record is easier to understand when it includes the beverage, volume, and alcohol-by-volume percentage. A “glass” or “drink” can describe different amounts, and national standard-drink definitions are not interchangeable.

Use this hub for a neutral record and a discussion with a healthcare professional when needed. The guide covers size, strength, missing days, and uncertainty. Alcohol Tracker+ offers intake history and reports. These resources do not estimate fitness to drive, prescribe a detox plan, or establish a safe amount for an individual.

A tool for alcohol

Alcohol amount calculator

Enter the measured drink volume and the ABV printed on its label. A glass is not a fixed quantity. UK units are shown explicitly because countries define a standard drink differently.

Alcohol amount calculator

For mixed drinks, calculate each alcoholic ingredient separately; unknown pours and ABV stay uncertain. There is no safe-drinking score.
