In the US, "units of alcohol" are not a thing or part of the government recommendations.

One standard drink in the US is tied to 12oz of 5% beer (or it's equivalents in wine/spirits), not the UK definition of a "unit" of alcohol.

When there are US health recommendations made, they are referring to standard drinks.
