UK drinkers are generally familiar with the "unit" system - although I had no idea how much a "unit" actually was, the rule of thumb of it being roughly one standard measure of spirits or half a pint of beer is easy to remember.

Strength = percentage alcohol, though? Alcohol = a liquid that contains alcohol?

Units aren't the only confusing thing here.
