It is important to understand what a standard drink is so that when you are drinking you can manage how much alcohol you consume. This can help you stick to the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) guidelines.In Australia, a standard drink is any drink containing 10 grams of alcohol, regardless of container size or alcohol type (e.g beer, wine, spirit).A standard drink is a unit of measurement. In the same way one metre measures a particular distance travelled, one standard drink measures a particular amount of alcohol consumed.Because alcoholic drinks are sold and served in many different sizes, its often difficult to know how many standard drinks you are consuming.A standard drink may be less than you think. Australian food labelling law requires all packaged alcohol to include the number of standard drinks on its label.Counting your standard drinks can help you stay within the NHRMC Guidelines.1 Health experts recommend to reduce the risk of harm from alcohol, healthy men and women should:drink no more than 10 standard drinks a week; anddrink no more than 4 standard drinks on any one day.The less you drink, the lower your risk of harm.

(2020). Australian Guidelines to Reduce Health Risks from Drinking Alcohol. Commonwealth of Australia, Canberra. Stage 1 When we drink an alcoholic beverage, there are so many variables that it is difficult to keep track of how much alcohol we are consuming. Glasses, cans and bottles come in different sizes. Different drinks contain different percentages of alcohol. The simplest way to measure your intake of alcohol is in Standard Drinks. What is a Standard Drink? In Ireland a Standard Drink has about 10 grams of pure alcohol in it. In the UK a Standard Drink, also called a unit of alcohol, has about 8 grams of pure alcohol. Here are some examples of a standard drink: A pub measure of spirits (35.5ml) A small glass of wine (12.5% volume) A half pint of normal beer An alcopop (275ml bottle) A Standard Drink is a drink that contains 10g of pure alcohol. (10g is the weight of about 12.7 ml of pure alcohol) In Ireland at present, bottles and cans do not indicate the number of Standard Drinks they contain. So, if you want to know how much you are drinking, you need to know how many standard drinks are in a typical bottle or glass.

In Ireland, one standard drink contains 10 grams of pure alcohol.Common examples include a half pint of 4.5% lager, 100ml glass of 12.5% wine and pub measure of 40% spirits.The number of standard drinks is based on the size of the drink and its alcohol strength, usually shown on labels as alcohol by volume (%ABV). The higher the alcohol strength, the higher the standard drink content. Use the standard drinks calculator to see how the standard drink content can vary in different drinks.It takes your body one hour to process one standard drink. But this should be taken as a guide for information purposes only. There are many factors that will affect this time including age, gender, weight, alcohol strength, the speed of your metabolism and the number of drinks consumed. No. This is a really common source of confusion, particularly on labelling or packaging. However, it is important to remember that they are not the same. One UK unit contains 8 grams of pure alcohol, compared to 10 grams in one Irish standard drink.WHY DOES THIS MATTER?Alcohol guidelines are typically set by the Department of Health in each country. If you see unit content displayed on a can or bottle label, this will show the alcohol content in a UK unit, not an Irish standard drink. For people in Ireland, the result could be an underestimation or overestimation of how much alcohol was consumed. This means that you may be drinking more than the low-risk guidelines without realising. Try to keep this in mind and always follow the guidance for Ireland.WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN?In addition to alcohol produced in Ireland, some products sold here are imported from all over the world. Alcohol labelling can take place in countries outside of Ireland. Each country will have different labelling requirements and alcohol guidelines. This means that the information on the label is likely to reflect the country where it was packaged, rather than where it is sold.WHAT WILL AFFECT THE NUMBER OF STANDARD DRINKS?Alcohol strength (%ABV)There is a huge variety of drinks available which can greatly vary in alcohol content. For example, some craft beers or spirits can contain more alcohol than some of the more commonly recognised brands. For wine, 14% alcohol is becoming more widely available. Its worth taking the time to check the label on the bottle before purchasing.Size of the measureFree pouring spirits or wine can lead to drinking more than you intended. Why not order our standard drink measure? This handy and easy-to-use cup can make it easier to see how much you are really drinking at home.Size of the glass or bottleGlasses come in all shapes and sizes, with some able to hold significant – and risky – amounts of alcohol. This is especially true for wine and gin glasses, which are growing in size. One glass does not always mean one standard drink.
