The fact that each beverage has its own particular glass, wine in a wine glass, vodka in a vodka glass or beer in a beer glass, isn't just about the way you serve it. It's actually designed so that each contains the same amount of alcohol, namely 1 unit. It's the equivalent of the standard quantity served in bars and restaurants, which is 10 grams of pure alcohol.
So a glass of beer and a glass of vodka contain the same amount of alcohol. And that's useful to know to help control your consumption!

Sometimes you find a pictogram on bottles of alcohol, telling consumers how much of the beverage equals a unit of alcohol. A handy way to measure the actual amount of alcohol!

4 FIGURES TO BEAR IN MIND:

We're not all the same when it comes to alcohol and, depending on your age, gender and certain times of your life, there are recommended limits that you're advised not to exceed. Here are 4 figures to bear in mind :

2 units of alcohol per day for women
3 units of alcohol per day for men
4 units of alcohol on occasion
0 units of alcohol at least one day a week and when there is a risk (driving, pregnancy, underage people, taking medication)

These are the markers for Slow Drinkers to be aware of ... and to make others aware of too!
And not only for the health and safety of everyone, but also to discover and share the pleasure of tasting in the best conditions. That's what Slow Drinking is all about.
