Does this mean no more megapints? Seriously though, why doesn't the unit of 1 DAU correspond with any existing commercial form factors? A single 12oz 5% beer

Seriously though, why doesn't the unit of 1 DAU correspond with any existing commercial form factors?
A single 12oz 5% beer would be a more helpful starting point.
- triyambakam 4y agoIn the UK it's common to see bottles labeled with how many units it is... maybe that's not the case where you are?
- p1necone 4y agoThis helps, but it's still unintuitive that the "standard unit drink" is not the same as the actual standard drink that most people consume. 330ml @ 4.5-5% abv (a fairly typical mass market beer) would make way more sense to me. A lot of people are going to assume that 1 standard drink === 1 glass of wine/beer. They're not going to read the fine print on government messaging.
