Steve, On the contrary, this is the fault of the imperial system.
If you drink one litre of 4.5% beer/cider whatever, you have consumed 4.5 units on alcohol. If you drink 500 ml of beer/cider, you will have drunk 2.25 units of alcohol (half of 4.5). If you drink one pint of 4.5% beer/cider, you will have drunk 4.5*0.568 units (quick where is the calculator) units of alcohol. QED. I fully accept what you say about drink-drive. -----Original Message----- From: Stephen Humphreys [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 02 August 2007 11:53 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [email protected] Subject: RE: [USMA:39227] RE: Metric only labeling ... snip When you have a pint of beer or cider you cannot tell how many units you are drinking.
