Alcohol Cost Calculator
See what drinking at the pub, at home, or a mix of both really costs over a year, plus a rough weekly-units check against the NHS low-risk guideline.
Not medical advice. Prices, units-per-drink and the 14-units-a-week guideline are editable examples and general NHS guidance, this is a spending and rough-units estimate, not medical advice. If you're concerned about your drinking, speak to your GP or visit drinkaware.co.uk.

How this is worked out
Your weekly drinks are priced at pub and/or home rates and multiplied by 52 weeks. A UK pub pint averages around £4.90 (more like £6.75 in London), while the supermarket equivalent is typically around £1.20, so where you drink makes a big difference to the annual total. We also give a rough weekly alcohol-units figure using an editable units-per-drink value (a pint of ~4% beer is about 2.3 units) and flag it against the UK Chief Medical Officers' low-risk guideline of 14 units a week, spread over 3 or more days.
