Question about one beer being equal a glass of wine or mixed drink...?

Question

How can that be if there is beer that is less than 3 % and also beer that is '6 point', about 6 percent? I'm kind of confused. Thanks.

The alci...hehe

Answer 1

12 oz of beer has the same amount of alcohol as 1 oz of liquor (80 proof or 40% alcohol by volume) which has the same amount of alcohol as a glass of wine (typically 14% alcohol by volume).

12 oz of whisky, or one pint, is like drinking a 12 pack of beer. It's just concentrated, by the distillation process... that cooks off all that unwanted water that makes you go to the bathroom every 5 mins in the fourth quarter of the football game...

Answer 2

Mixed drinks typically include an ounce (40% normally) of hard alcohol. Or a series of liquors (20 and up)....plus soda, or whatever it is mixed with. Usually a total of 8 ounces. A beer is about 12 ounces with a varying percentage....3-5%. Wine is higher...20%. It depends on the portions in which it is served. A wine glass holds more than a shot class, and less than a beer bottle. A shot of tequila is the same as that same shot poured in a class with a healthy dose of Coke. A beer is in a larger portion, but has less alcohol.

A recent study did show that people were drinking more than they thought due to the size of glasses...especially margarita glasses and tumblers. When they thought they were having only one drink, they were actually consuming 2-3.

Answer 3

To be greater particular, a million shot of 80 data liquor has the comparable quantity of alcohol as a 5 oz..glass of wine or a 12 oz..family contributors beer which includes Bud mild. save in mind that each and every physique alcohols variety in data/alcohol share. I drink beers that are in some circumstances 9.5-11%. Liquor varies commonly from 35% (70 data) to 50% (a hundred data), even with the certainty that maximum basic varieties are surprisingly made to be 40% or 80 data. mixing the varieties of alcohol will in elementary terms get you greater tousled in case you're eating greater data/share alcohols. to illustrate, in case you're eating a micro brewed beer at 6.8% and photographs of bourbon at ninety 4 data. mixing in general impacts your hangover. Hangovers are brought about by the quantity of dehydration and the impurities on your drink (ie dark alcohols and candy mixers). in case you do not have self belief me try this try: drink 8 vodka sodas and evaluate your situation interior the morning. Then drink 8 whiskey sours and evaluate your situation interior the morning. evaluate the two. The latter would be greater depressing. So the nice and comfortable button is that mixing beer and wine (or beer and liquor, or wine and liquor and so on.) does not get you greater tousled, however the varience in alcohol content fabric can at as quickly as influence your blood alcohol content fabric.

Answer 4

In the USA beer is limited to 3% alcohol. In Germany beer is 11%. ~
Wine is normally 11%, hard liquor is 40%, but there are exceptions like Wild Turkey and 75.5% Bacardi
If you mix any of these with something non alcoholic, calculate how many times of the alcohol part the whole drink is, and divide the alcohol percentage by that number. That'll give you the alcohol content of the mixed drink.

Answer 5

The similarity between the drinks and their alcohol content is a "rule of thumb". Obviously 3% beer won't be the same as 6% beer, and neither can be similar to a mixed drink of greater size or alcohol content mixed in, but, as a "rule of thumb", they're all equal and are measured so when determining how long it will take someone to sober up. God Bless you.

Answer 6

I'm confused about that, too. I don't drink beer or wine, just cocktails. My husband has told me over and over again how it works... something about it not being the volume of the drink, it's the percentage- I don't know. Maybe I should ask him BEFORE I drink.

Answer 7

because a serving of beer is 12-16 ounces and a serving of wine is 4-6 ounces, as for cocktails, you are mixing, for example, 1 ounce of an 80 proof vodka with 4 - 6 ounces of juice or mixer... Unless you're like me and drink wine from a highball or put three shots of vodka in one drink! :)

Answer 8

Well to work this out what you do is get the amount of drink say 1 pint which is 468ml times by the abv or alcohol content say 3% then times by 0.001 = your answer which is units of drink in each drink. So its Q x ABV x 0.001.

Answer 9

Well if you figure it out it comes to:
12 oz of 6% beer you get 0.72 oz of alcohol
6 oz of 12% wine you get 0.72 oz of alcohol
1 shot, 1 1/2 oz, of 40% liquior you get 0.6 oz of alcohol

Answer 10

volume of liquid consumed and alcohol content of beverage
