Working with units of alcohol

Name ____________ Date __________

It is a Friday evening and a group of friends are getting ready for a night out. They decide to set a unit

allowance for each person.

What drinks could they have on their night out, that would not push them over their set unit allowance.

Use the table above to work out which drinks they can have.

For example: Jane sets limit of 2.5 units for herself. Therefore she could have;

1 x vodka and coke (1 unit) and 1 x small glass of white wine (1.5 units) = 2.5 units

Or she could have: 1 x half pint of beer (1 unit) and 1 x bottle of WKD (1.5 units) = 2.5 units
