>In Ireland a standard drink has about 10 grams of pure alcohol. In the UK a standard drink, also called a unit of alcohol, has about 8 grams of pure alcohol.
It’s just how the NHS classifies a unit verses how the HSE does.
Do you laugh at how your pints and US pints are different?
…because units and standard drinks are **two totally different things**
We’re made of hardier stuff over here lad /s
He was just sitting there doctor, laughing his head off at the label of a beer bottle
You are missing the bigger picture. It’s gluten and vegan friendly
Aye man, when I was over in Salou, I basically shut down the store guffawing when the flipflops that fit me were a size 42. Comedy gold.
To calculate units which is the UK measuring system, the formula is the volume x the abv so a 500ml can of 5% lager is 2.5 units. In Ireland, we use standard drinks so it’s the volume x the abv x .0789 so that can of lager is 1.97 standard drinks.
UK weekly guidelines are a max of 14 units a week for both men and women, while in Ireland it’s 17 SDs and 11 for women. Both are meant to spread out over several days in the week.
Just realised I might have had a bit to much after being corrected by the sub
Brit measures are 25ml ours are 36

Ye can’t be trusted with a real measure.
Different measures that is all. Same way a yank gallon is smaller than a Brit gallon.
Also the HSE allows more units per week than the NHS
What’s the difference between cyder and cider
Yes the Irish short measure is much bigger
The important part is what kind of swallow you are using
A measure in Ireland is 35.5ml and in the uk it’s 25ml
Grammar, the difference between knowing your shit and knowing you’re shit
You gonna take this subreddit off us aswell?
Love aspell cider.fabulously dry.
Brexit
Well we have a good laugh at ye still measuring things in caveman feet and stones 😀
Colonising makes u dummer I guess
Pissing myself over here so I am
Is this fucker at it again
@OP did you get aspalls over here? Where sells it?
Jesus wept what a dunce
I love how you’ve added and subtracted there
Just get it down ya’
There’s also a limit in Russian there
Thought that said ‘Asspull’ for a minute there
Two STD drinks?! Ew.
Because you are British we expect you to don’t see a difference between two different units

Who the fuck has a shot of cider ?? You drink that shit by the pint ,or ltr or btl ,but you never have a shot ffs 🤣🤣🤣
One time at my friends house I just assumed his shot glass was the standard 35ml, and I always measure my drinks so I know exactly what I’m drinking.
Few drinks in I was really feeling it and was also alarmed to see half the bottle of vodka was already gone, turned out it was a 50ml shot glass, and I was basically drinking triples instead of doubles.
Or more than 7 3/4 a week of these is not recommended
So if you drink on the border you can have 5 x 35ml units before the daily commute?
It’s because Irish shots are a larger size.
Lived in spain and they would basically pour spirits till you said stop or no more could go in the glass…….Cuba Libre!!!!!
