One ounce of 80 proof whiskey or other hard liquor, six ounces of wine and 12 ounces of beer have the same effect on you body. The question is how much you drink and how fast you can consume each. If you slam a shot and then have a beer your body only know that you had two drinks it would just take more time is you slowly drank two beers. Also, your body process 1 drink per hour. So drink in moderation.
By volume, no. By standard serving (1 can beer = 1 shot of whiskey) they are equal.
Beer on whiskey, mighty risky. Whiskey on beer, never fear.
Alcohol?
It is called Ginger Beer cause it is similar to the name A&W Root Beer and that contains no alcohol as well. Since it contains no alcohol it would taste better.
Mostly whiskey and beer.
Yes. In general, one glass of wine or beer has one ounce of alcohol, which is about the same amount as one shot of "hard" liquor such as vodka, whiskey or rum.
I think alcohol is the general name of the family of: methanol, ethanol, propanol...
The alcohol content of wine and beer varies widely. Beer is typically 5% alcohol, and wine is typically 13% alcohol. Thus, 12 oz of a typical beer would contain 0.60 oz of alcohol, and 5 oz of a typical wine would contain 0.65 oz of alcohol. So, yes, as a general rule of thumb, 12 oz of beer is roughly equivalent to 5 oz of wine.
A standard five ounce serving of dinner wine contains 0.6 oz. of absolute alcohol. That is the same amount found in standard drinks of typical (80 proof) distilled spirits (whiskey, rum, tequila, vodka or other liquor) and a standard serving of beer (12 oz.)
No. Beer contains residual sugars from the fermentation process (turning sugar into alcohol) Being distilled, whiskey has basically no sugar content (only water, alcohol and the flavor compounds) Whiskey is distilled form wort (basically a beer without hops). Any sugars in the wort remain in the still. The only sugars in whiskey come from the barrels that the whiskey is aged in, and those are present in very, very small quantities.
Because standard drinks of beer, wine and distilled spirits all contain the same amount of alcohol (0.60 oz), this information helps us avoid myths such as the belief that beer contains less alcohol than a shot of whiskey.
A standard serving of beer (12 oz.) or spirits (one and one-half oz.)
