Units Dispensed per Drink

PandasEasyJunior level~10 min

Problem

DataFrame: `dispense_log` (`dispense_log.csv`)

```text
+------------+------+
| Column | Type |
+------------+------+
| log_id | int |
| drink_id | int |
| machine_id | int |
| units | int |
+------------+------+
log_id uniquely identifies each row.
Each row records that a vending machine dispensed `units` portions of one drink.
```

Write a function that returns, for every `drink_id`, the total number of `units` dispensed across all log rows. Name the total column `total_units`.

Return the result in any order.

**Example**

Input — `dispense_log`:

```text
log_id drink_id machine_id units
1 100 9 10
2 100 4 12
7 200 4 15
```

Output:

```text
drink_id total_units
100 22
200 15
```

Drink `100` was dispensed in two rows (10 + 12 = 22); drink `200` in one row (15).

Input data

Example rows — the live problem includes the full dataset.

Expected output

Your answer should return 2 rows with the columns drink_id, total_units.
