Is one beer equivilent to one shot of vodka?

Question

Is one beer equivilent to one shot of vodka?

Answer 1

The alcohol amount is about the same for both, assuming it's regular beer.

Answer 2

Theoretically, a shot used to be an ounce instead of an ounce and a half and was considered equal to one beer, and since the proofs haven't changed (as a whole) obviously they aren't entirely positive on the ratio. Also it depends on the proofs on the beer or vodka. There are lower proof vodkas and high proof ones like the 151 proof (75.5% alcohol) that obviously aren't the same amount of alcohol, but can still measured in shots, while conversely beer can range quite a bit too, from just a couple of percents to the world record high in beer of somewhere around 24% alcohol. So assuming average proof on both the beer and the vodka, and for all intents and purposes, yes.

Answer 3

No! Most beers like Budweiser, Miller, and Coors are 5% acohol by volume. There are a few exceptions, but generally this is the case. Most common vodkas are 40% alcohol. Chopin, Grey Goose, Belvedere, and Absolut all are 40%, and are 1 oz in a regular shot glass. Because the beer has 12 times more volume the 5% becomes 60% when concentrated in to a shot glass. 60÷40=1.5 Therefore, a beer is equal to 1.5 shots of vodka.

Answer 4

Yes sir it is. One shot of 80 proof vodka is equivilent to one can of beer. toodles

Answer 5

about...depending on regular/lite beer plus how much that's in the beer......

also the kind of vodka might be a variable but they are ABOUT the same

Answer 6

Alcohol Equivelancy is pretty close to as follows:
1. 1.5 ounces of distilled liquor
2. 12 ounces of Beer
3. 5 ounces of Wine

Answer 7

its the same as 12 ounces of beer and about 6 ounces of wine.

Answer 8

Yes, unless the vodka is and overproof.

Answer 9

Yes.

Answer 10

close, i believe the vodka is probly a little stronger
