When you drink, you exhale a certain amount of the alcohol in your breath. This is how blood alcohol content (BAC) is measured by breathalyzers. You blow into the machine, if analyzes how much alcohol is in your breath, performs a mathematical equation, and determines how much alcohol is in your bloodstream.
Percentage by volume (ABV) represents the amount of alcohol present in a beverage compared to the total volume. Units of alcohol are a measure used to quantify the amount of pure alcohol consumed. To calculate units of alcohol, you multiply the volume of the drink in ml by the ABV percentage and divide by 1000. This gives you the amount of pure alcohol in the drink, measured in units.
