In the United Kingdom, a unit of alcohol is defined as 10 millilitres (or approximately 8 grams) of ethanol (ethyl alcohol). This is approximately the amount of ethanol an average healthy adult can breakdown in an hour. It is used as a basis for guidelines on consumption of Alcoholic Beverages; the number of units contained in a typical drink is publicized and marked on bottles.
In the US, a unit is considered to be 14 grams (17 ml) of pure alcohol -- about 0.6 fluid ounces or 1.2 tablespoons). The UK and US figures fall at either end of the range of average alcohol metabolism in one hour.

How much is 4 units of alcohol?
a unit normally stands for 1 glass of an alcoholic consumption. This mean, most basically, 1 glass of beer (5% alcohol). Standard glasses of wine, shot, beer etc. are based on the unit system. This means that a standard glass of wine, and standard glass of beer and a standard shot glass contain more or less the same amount of alcohol (of course some spirits and wines/beers are stronger than the other). Most basic, a unit of alcohol means 1 liter with 1% alcohol in it. Thus 4 units equals four liters with 1% alcohol, which then again equals 4 glasses (250 mL) of 5% beer. Hope that helps
