Does a 1 oz shot of 86 proof liquor contain more alcohol than a 12 ounce beer?

Rule of thumb:
Multiply the volume in ounces by the percentage of alcohol in the drink. 60 is one drink.
ex. jigger of standard (80 proof) liquor: 1.5 oz. X 40 % = 60.
So 1 oz. X 50% = 50, or 5/6 of a drink.
Whether or not this is equal to the beer depends on the alcohol content of the beer. The standard is 5%. For 1 12oz. beer X 5% = 60 or one drink.

Alcohol is a substance found in alcoholic drinks, while liquor is a name for these drinks. So for example one might say "I'm drinking liquor, which contains alcohol."

To be a liquor the beverage must be distilled from one of the fermented beverages mentioned above. Liquors have a much higher proof rating (200 proof is 100% alcohol, 40 proof is 20% alcohol, 1 proof is a 1/2 %) usually around 40 proof, although Bacardi 151 is famous for being 151 proof (75.5%) and some moonshines are higher even.
