Imagine you’re at a dinner party. Someone orders a large glass of cabernet. You casually mention, “That’s about 3 units, you know.” Boom—you’re the interesting person at the table. You’re not preachy; you’re in-the-know.

Plus, here’s a life hack: alternate each large glass with a big glass of water. You’ll stay hydrated, feel fantastic the next morning, and still enjoy the same three units. It’s like having your wine and a clear head, too.
What About the “Booze Math” at Home?
At home, your “large glass” might be whatever glass you grab from the cupboard. Use a measuring cup once—just once—to see how much your go-to glass actually holds. You might discover your “large” is actually a 300ml monster (hello, 4.2 units in a 14% wine!).
Don’t panic—just adjust your pour. A smaller pour with more appreciation tastes better than a giant pour you gulp down. Trust us.
