""A normal sized glass of wine or half a pint [roughly one normal drinking glass- JA] of regular strength beer contains one unit."

rant -

This, after two pages of referencing "units". In a newspaper! Why not at the top, so we would have some referents as we read? I suppose we should be grateful there was an explanation at all, so we do not think of "unit" as "fifth" or "six-pack".

Bad enough this sort of thing occurs in professional journals, but popular press should know better than to just copy technical jargon.

end rant

======================

Well, at a mere 57 I suppose I'll just have to wait a few years before joining my 87-year-old mother in a weekly glass or two.

I'll drink to that!
