アルコールの量 unit

1unitの量が国によって違う。純エタノール換算で、1英unitは8g=10ml（英糖尿病協会採用の数値）、1米unitは15g（20ml弱：1drinkとも）で、日本では10～14g程度（代謝熱量80Kcalが基準：食品成分表5訂版,2002）や20ないし23g（日本酒1合分）を1unitとしている。日本の医学界では1unit=20g（体積に換算すると25ml）を採用することが多いので、ここでもそれに従う。この基準（1unit=20g=25ml）で計算すると、40度のウィスキー1ショット（＝1オンス：英液量オンスで28.41ml、米液量オンスで29.57ml、日本の1ショットで30ml）が約0.5unitとなる。5度のビールなら500mlでだいたい1unit（この、日本酒1合≒ウィスキーダブル≒ビール500cc≒1unitという関係は、覚えておくと便利かもしれない：ワインなどは日本酒に準じるので、1本750mlがだいたい4unit強である）。 (参考1.より引用)
