Did you consume more than the recommended limit of 11 units for women, or 17 for men? In Ireland, a standard drink contains 10 grams of pure alcohol, equal to a 35.5ml pub measure of spirits, a small 125ml glass of wine, a half pint of standard strength beer, or a 275ml bottle of alcopop. A bottle of 12.5 per cent proof wine contains about seven units of alcohol. The recommended limit for men is 17 standard drinks per week. Consuming six or more in one sitting is considered binge drinking.
