Alcohol units can be calculated by:

1) Volume of alcohol (ml) x percentage alcohol by volume (ABV)
2) Divide by 1000

(500ml x 7.0)/1000 = 3.5 units per can
6 x cans a day = 21 units per day
21 x 7 days a week = 147 units per week

(750ml x 40)/1000 = 30 units per vodka bottle

147 units from cider + 30 units from vodka = 177 units per week.
