She is drinking 3 litres of 5% beer and 0.5 litres of 40% vodka , so using the formula, units = alcohol percentage x litres we get the following:

3 litres x 5 = 15 units

0.5 litres x 40 = 20 units

15 + 20 = 35 units

This is well above the NHS recommended maximal alcohol intake in a week which currently stands at 14 units.
