Cocktail ABV Calculator

ABV stands for Alcohol By Volume. It is the percentage of pure ethanol in a drink by volume. For example, a drink at 8% ABV contains 8 ml of pure alcohol per 100 ml.

In Poland, one standard drink contains 10 g of pure alcohol. This is the basis for the standard_units result in this calculator.

The calculator uses an approximate rate of 7 g of pure alcohol eliminated per hour, which is typical for an average adult. Actual rates vary by weight, sex, liver health and other factors.

Pure ethanol has a density of approximately 0.789 g/ml at room temperature. This is used to convert volume of pure alcohol (ml) to mass (grams).

No. This is an educational tool only. Blood alcohol content depends on many factors including body weight, sex, food intake, and individual metabolism. Never rely on it for driving decisions.

The calculator supports up to 4 ingredients. For more complex recipes, calculate in two steps: first combine some ingredients, then use the result as one ingredient.

Common spirit ABVs: vodka 37.5-40%, gin 37.5-47%, rum 37.5-40%, whisky 40-46%, liqueurs 15-30%. Always check the label on the bottle.

No. Mixing does not create or destroy alcohol. The total amount of pure alcohol in the mix equals the sum of alcohol from each ingredient.

Health guidelines vary by country. The WHO recommends limiting alcohol consumption. In Poland, low-risk drinking is generally defined as up to 2 standard drinks per day for men and 1 for women, with alcohol-free days each week.

Yes. Enter the volume (e.g. 125 ml for a small glass of wine) and the ABV printed on the label (e.g. 12% for most table wines, 4-5% for beer). The calculator handles any drink type.
