Alcohol Unit Calculator from Confused.com helps monitor your alcohol intake

Alcohol Units Calculator Widget created by Confused.com

This handy new widget from Confused.com, a leading provider of car insurance, helps keep track of how much you've had to drink so you can make an informed decision about whether you are under the legal limit for getting behind the wheel.

Simply click start on the widget, choose your drink and enter how much of it you have consumed and click 'Calculate' to reveal your total in units of alcohol. If you've been naughty and have been mixing your drinks, there's the option to add more than one tipple to the widget.

It's surprising how quickly the units can mount up and put you over the legal limit. Remember that the drink driving limit is based on blood alcohol levels rather than the number of units consumed, making it difficult to judge if it really it is ok to drive. To be really safe, it's best not to drink at all if you plan to drive.
