Talk:unit of alcohol

RFD discussion: November 2016
Is this just unit of alcohol? You can have units of many things. DTLHS (talk) 00:21, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
 * The strange thing is that, unlike all other units, it doesn't have a name of its own. SemperBlotto (talk) 06:51, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep based on its institutionalized function in the UK. DCDuring TALK 11:03, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
 * I think this is a clear keep. '[D]efined as 10 millilitres of pure alcohol'. Which part of [[unit]] and [[alcohol]] tells you that? Quite commonly referred to as just as unit, but only when the context allows it. Renard Migrant (talk) 11:48, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep in this case. We also have and, or shouldn't I mention that? DonnanZ (talk) 12:10, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Found at a "mum's" pregnancy forum: I have had about 10-12 units since finding out I was pregnant 27 weeks ago. DCDuring TALK 12:52, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes I've added the sense to unit, it's a common one here in the UK. Renard Migrant (talk) 22:35, 2 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep. This is reminiscent of carbohydrate unit which is 15 g of carbohydrate in the U.S., and its German counterpart which is 10–12 g of carbohydrate. These units are used in the management of diabetes; it's supposed to be easier to keep track of how many carb units various foods have than how many grams of carbohydrate they have. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 22:53, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
