Exciting Facts About Standard Alcoholic Drinks

What is not considered one drink of alcohol?

Which of the following is not considered one drink of alcohol?

  1. 1.5 oz of 80-proof liquor straight or with a mixer
  2. 12 oz. of beer
  3. 5 oz. of wine
  4. 6 oz. of beer

Answer

The correct answer is: 6 oz. of beer.

As per Connecticut motor vehicle law and common definitions of a standard drink, 6 oz. of beer is not considered to be a standard drink of alcohol. The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse defines a 'standard' drink as any drink that contains about 14 grams (0.6 ounces) of pure alcohol.

Option 1) A 1.5 oz serving of 80-proof liquor contains approximately 0.6 oz of pure alcohol.

Option 2) A 12 oz serving of beer, typically containing around 5% alcohol, also contains about 0.6 oz of pure alcohol.

Option 3) A 5 oz serving of wine, which usually includes about 12% alcohol, contains approximately the same amount of pure alcohol as well.

However, option 4) a 6 oz. serving of beer would contain less alcohol than the standard drink, making it the correct answer.

Remember, even a small amount of alcohol can impair driving ability, especially for people under 21.
