#12The article refers to a "British unit", which is 1mL of pure alcohol. This is supposed to make it easier for people to know how much they're drinking, most bottles and cans state how many "units" are in a serving / the whole bottle.
Small correction, 10ml not 1ml. Shots are also 25ml, so one shot is usually one unit.
Interesting. In the US, shots are usually measured in a jigger, which is often 1.5 US fluid ounces (44 mL). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shot_glass#Sizes

#13The article doesn't mention gluten which you'd normally find in beer, and which itself might affect your health.
Is there any proof that it does affect your health in any way? I thought the consensus was that in people who do not suffer from Colic disease, there is absolutely no impact of gluten on anything, none whatsoever. Am I wrong?
Your understanding is correct. Gluten-free diets for those who don't suffer from celiac are just another fad diet like atkins or paleo. I'm eager for it to fade away, although I admit I'll miss laughing at the "gluten free" label on my 10 lb bags of pure sugar.

Ehh, every time i hear this kind og thing beer and wine seems to have switched places

#15I would draw the opposite conclusion from the first factoid. If it takes longer for beer to affect you, that can lead you to drinking too much because you don't yet feel drunk.

All of these are B.S., but for what it's worth, the one I grew up with:
Beer before liquor, never been sicker
Liquor before beer, you're in the clearRe: Is beer better (or worse) for you than wine?

While we're at it, the one I knew growing up was probably the most sensible advice and suggested no mixing:
Grape or grain, but never the twain

It's supposed to be in order of decreasing ABV, "beer before liquor, never been sicker" is how I know it. The point being, as your inhibitions decrease, your willingness to drink things quickly increases, but lower ABV drinks--especially carbonated ones--have a functional limit on how much can be consumed in a short period of time: stomach capacity.

I think that would be true if you waited an hour for your next drink. However you're more than likely to have another glass of wine < 54mins, hence stock piling future booze in the pipe and making you more drunk than perhaps you'd anticipated.

To spin a hypothesis into this as to why this is possibly true, think of beer as a walk, wine as a jog and spirits as a sprint. It will take you longer (generally!) to drink the same alcohol content from a pint of beer than it would from a shot of spirits. It can be inferred that one probably consumes alcohol at a faster rate in shot form than in pint form.
