Is there a Glossary of acronyms and slang words?
What is a unit?
What does AF mean?
How do you read someone's progress report?

Various countries use a system of units to measure specific amounts of alcohol in drinks of differing strengths. It helps you track exactly how much alcohol you are drinking. Some use US units, some UK units - how to calculate both can be found by googling "US alcohol units" or "UK alcohol units".

Alcohol Free

They usually list units and number of days AF (days when they didn't drink) weekly.

Devo - that was great link- I wished I had that when I first started looking at this web site. I noticed SE (side effects) was not in the list but it certainly was helpful for us new people to have a place to look up the abbreviations.

thanks

Stew brew - thanks for asking that question. The first couple of days were a real challenge trying to figure out AF and units.
