Department of Psychology, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque 87131.

Simple calculation rules are providing for converting alcohol consumption data among four standard units currently used by researchers and educators in the USA, Canada, the UK, and Australia. A plea is made for the adoption of a common method for reporting alcohol consumption in research, using metric fluid volume units.
