| '''Units of alcohol''' are a measure of the volume of pure [[ethanol|alcohol]] in an [[alcoholic beverage]]. They are used in some countries as
| |
| a guideline for alcohol consumption. | |
| | |
| One unit of alcohol is defined as 10 [[litre|millilitres]] (7.9 [[grams]]) in the United Kingdom,<ref>{{cite web|title=Drinkaware|url=http://www.drinkaware.co.uk/tips-and-tools/drink-diary/}}</ref> and as 12.7 [[litre|millilitres]] (10 [[grams]]) in Australia. In both countries, a so-called [[standard drink]] contains one unit of alcohol (according to the country’s own definition). The definition of a "standard drink" varies significantly in other countries.
| |
| | |
| In the United Kingdom, the number of units contained in a typical serving of an alcoholic beverage is publicised and printed on bottles.
| |
| | |
| In one hour, an average healthy adult can [[Metabolism|metabolize]] about 75% of an Australian unit of alcohol or 95% of a United Kingdom unit.{{Citation needed|reason=Actual link to a medical study showing that an average healthy adult uses up one unit in an hour.|date=June 2011}}
| |
| | |
| == Formulae ==
| |
| The number of UK units of alcohol in a drink can be determined by multiplying <var>the volume of the drink (in millilitres)</var> by its <var>percentage [[Alcohol by volume|ABV]]</var>, and dividing by 1000.
| |
| | |
| For example, one [[Imperial units|imperial]] [[pint]] (568 ml) of beer at 4% ABV contains:
| |
| | |
| <math>\frac{568\mbox{ ml} \times 4}{1000} {{=}} 2.3\mbox{ units}</math>
| |
| | |
| The formula uses {{math|<var>ml ÷ 1000</var>}}. This results in exactly one unit per percentage point per litre, of any alcoholic beverage.
| |
| | |
| Since 4% can be expressed as .04, {{math|.04 × 568 ml}} gives the amount of alcohol in terms of ml—which, when divided by {{math|10}}, shows the number of units.
| |
| | |
| When the volume of an alcoholic drink is shown in [[centilitre]]s, determining the number of units in a drink is as simple as <var>volume</var> × <var>percentage</var> (converted into a fraction of 1).
| |
| | |
| Thus, 75 centilitres of wine (the contents of a standard wine bottle) at 12% [[ABV]] contain:
| |
| | |
| <math>75 \times 0.12 {{=}} 9\mbox{ units}</math>
| |
| | |
| == Quantities ==
| |
| It is often stated that a unit of alcohol is supplied by a small glass of wine, half a pint of beer, or a single measure of spirits.<ref>{{cite web

| | |
| The advent of [[smartphone]]s has led to the creation of [[Mobile app|apps]] which inform consumers of the number of units contained in an alcoholic drink.<ref>{{cite web|title=The Alculator|url=https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=appinventor.ai_pking30.The_Alculator_Ad&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImFwcGludmVudG9yLmFpX3BraW5nMzAuVGhlX0FsY3VsYXRvcl9BZCJd}}</ref>

| === Beers ===
| |
| * A half pint (284 ml) of [[beer]] with 3.5% ABV contains almost exactly one unit; however, most beers are stronger. In pubs in the United Kingdom, beers generally range from 3.5%–5.5% ABV, and continental lagers start at around 5% ABV. A pint of such lager (e.g., 568 ml at 5.2%) contains almost 3 units of alcohol<ref>The volume of the drink in litres multiplied by its percentage strength in ABV give the number of units. In this case, {{nowrap|0.568 × 5.2 gives 2.95}}, i.e., almost 3 units.</ref> rather than the oft-quoted 2 units.
| |
| * Stronger beer (6%–12%) may contain 2 units or more per half pint.
| |
| * A half litre (500 ml) of standard [[lager]] or [[ale]] (5%) contains 2.5 units.
| |
| * One litre (1000 ml) of typical [[Oktoberfest]] beer (5.5%–6%) contains 5.5–6 units of alcohol.
| |
| | |
| === Wines ===
| |
| * A medium glass (175 ml) of 12% ABV [[wine]] contains around two units of alcohol. However, British pubs and restaurants often supply larger quantities (large glass ≈ 250 ml), which contain 3 units. Red wine may have a higher alcohol content (on average 12.5%, sometimes up to 16%).
| |
| * A 750 ml bottle of 12% ABV wine contains 9 units. Some [[port wine]]s may contain 20% ABV or more, which is 15 units of alcohol per bottle.
| |
| * A 750 ml bottle of 14.5% ABV wine contains 10.88 units.
| |
| | |
| === Fortified wines ===
| |
| * A small glass (50 ml) of [[sherry]], [[fortified wine]], or cream liqueur (≈20% ABV) contains about one unit.
| |
| | |
| === Spirits ===
| |
| * Most [[Distilled beverage|spirits]] sold in the [[United Kingdom]] have 40% ABV or slightly less. In [[Great Britain]], a single pub measure (25 ml) of a spirit contains one unit.
| |
| | |
| * However, a larger 35ml measure is increasingly used (and in particular is standard in [[Northern Ireland]] {{Citation needed|date=August 2011}}), which contains 1.4 units of alcohol.
| |
| | |
| === Alcopops ===
| |
| * Most [[alcopops]] contain 1.1–1.5 units per bottle. For example, a normal 275ml bottle of [[WKD Original Vodka|WKD]] contains 1.1 units,<ref name="% volume of wkd">{{cite web | url=http://www.qfak.com/livelihood/food_drink/?id=b158893#.UXvAYaKG2So | title=Question:- "How much alcohol is there in WKD vodka blue?" | accessdate=2013-04-27}}</ref> whereas [[Bacardi Breezer]] and [[Smirnoff Ice]] both contain 1.5 units of alcohol. {{citation needed|date=January 2013}}

| == Limits ==
| |
| {{Main|Recommended maximum intake of alcoholic beverages}}
| |
| | |
| Since 1995 the UK government has advised that regular consumption of 3–4 units a day for men, or 2–3 units a day for women, would not pose significant health risks, but that consistently drinking four or more units a day (men), or three or more units a day (women), is not advisable. <ref>{{cite web

| Previously (from 1992 until 1995), the advice was that men should drink no more than 21 units per week, and women no more than 14.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.drinkaware.co.uk/facts/factsheets/health-fact-sample-2 |title=Health Effects of Alcohol |publisher=Drinkaware.co.uk |date= |accessdate=2013-05-27}}</ref> (The difference between the sexes was due to the typically lower weight and water-to-body-mass ratio of women.) This was changed because a government study showed that many people were in effect "saving up" their units and using them at the end of the week, a phenomenon referred to as [[binge drinking]].{{Citation needed|date= October 2007}} [[The Times]] reported in October 2007 that these limits had been "plucked out of the air" and had no scientific basis.<ref>[http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/food_and_drink/article2697975.ece Drink limits ‘useless’], The Times, 20 October 2007</ref>

For example, those who drank over 3 units a day had nearly twice the risk of a hip fracture.

Over time, the data on your hard drive gets scattered. Defragmenting a hard drive puts a data into sequential order, creating it simpler for Windows to access it. As a result, the performance of your computer may better. An great registry cleaner might allow work this task. However in the event you would like to defrag a PC with Windows software. Here a link to show you how.
Another solution will be to provide the computer program with a unique msvcr71 file. Often, once the file has been corrupted or damaged, it may no longer be able to function like it did before so it's only natural to replace the file. Just download another msvcr71.dll file from the web. Often, the file can come inside a zip format. Extract the files within the zip folder and area them accordingly in this location: C:\Windows\System32. Afterward, re-register the file. Click Start plus then choose Run. Once the Run window appears, sort "cmd". Press Enter and then type "regsvr32 -u msvcr71.dll" followed by "regsvr32 msvcr71.dll". Press Enter again plus the file should be registered accordingly.
It doesn't matter whether you may be not quite well-defined about what rundll32.exe is. However remember which it plays an significant part inside maintaining the stability of our computers and the integrity of the system. Whenever certain software or hardware could not answer usually to your program operation, comes the rundll32 exe error, which can be caused by corrupted files or lost information inside registry. Usually, error message might shows up at booting or the beginning of running a system.
If that does not work you need to try and repair the matter with a 'registry cleaner'. What happens on countless computers is the fact that their registry database becomes damaged and unable to show a computer where the DLL files that it requires are. Every Windows PC has a central 'registry' database which stores information about all of the DLL files on the computer.
In a word, to speed up windows XP, Vista startup, it's quite significant to disable some business items and clean and optimize the registry. We can follow the procedures above to disable unnecessary programs. To optimize the registry, I suggest you use a regzooka software. Because it is rather risky for you to edit the registry by oneself.
2)Fix a Windows registry to accelerate PC- The registry is a complex section of your computer which holds different kinds of information within the details we do on a laptop every day. Coincidentally, over time the registry can become cluttered with info and/or will receive several type of virus. This is very important plus you MUST receive this issue fixed right away, otherwise we run the risk of your computer being permanently damage and/or the sensitive information (passwords, etc.) can be stolen.
The System File Checker (SFC) could help inside resolving error 1721 as it, by its nature, scans the program files for corruption plus replaces them with their authentic versions. This needs you to have the Windows Installation DVD ROM for continuing.
If you wish to have a computer with quick running speed, you'd better install a good registry cleaner to clean the useless files for we. As long as you take care of your computer, it usually keep in superior condition.
