About

A to Z Alcohol answers everyday questions about alcohol: how strong drinks are, how much is a standard drink, which stores sell alcohol and when, what the law and public health bodies say, and how rubbing alcohol is used around the house.

The site is written by the A to Z Alcohol Editorial Team. We are not doctors or lawyers, so we quote official sources (for example the NIAAA, CDC, NHS, USDA and government law pages) and the producers’ own figures, with the date we checked them, and we link to them in every article.

What you will find here

• Alcohol content of drinks and brands
• Free calculators: standard drinks, UK units, shots in a bottle, calories, ABV to proof, rubbing alcohol dilution
