Open dataset containing units of alcohol in branded drinks in a variety of standard servings.
Open Units dates back to 2018 and has not been updated or maintained since that date. This data is classified as archived and should be only used on the understanding that it may be out of date.
The UK standard measure of alcohol content is a unit - 10ml of pure alcohol. Official advice regarding safe levels of consumption is based around units. So it is important that the public know how many units are in the drinks they consume.
Open Units lists over 1,000 standard servings of branded drinks and specifies the alcohol content in units.
The dataset is released as open data, which means it can be freely integrated into websites and apps, as well as incorporated into bigger and better datasets.
