Best Answer

As a general rule of thumb, yes.

Although there are several factors that could change this answer. The alcohol content of the liquor you are using (80 proof, 90 proof, etc...) and the alcohol content of the beer you are comparing it to. Beer can range anywhere from 4% ABV to 15-16% ABV for most mainstream beers. There are however many beers that rise above event the 15-16% mark, I believe the beer with the highest ABV is currently around the 40% mark.

What is a unit of alcohol?

A unit of alcohol is the amount of alcohol that is in one (12-oz or 16-oz) beer, one (6-oz) glass of wine, or one shot of hard liquor. 12 ounces (approx. 375ml) of 5% beer will contain about 18ml of pure alcohol; that is approximately one unit.


How many ounces of ethyl alcohol are in a 12 ounce serving of beer?

There is to liquor in beer unless you put it there! (Liquors are things like scotch, rye, rum, etc.) You might mean how much alcohol is in a 12 oz beer and that depends on the type of beer. Alcohol content is usually printed on the side of the bottle. If you're talking draught, you could go to the web site of the brewery of which you speak and find out there. There's just too many possibilities in your question.


How many beers equal a four loko?

1 four loko is 23.5 fl oz and 12% alcohol. That means that it has 2.82 fl oz of ethanol (23.5 * .12). 1 beer is 12 fl oz and can range from 3.5% - 7% (and some higher), but we'll use 5% as that is standard. That means that a beer has 0.60 fl oz of ethanol (12 * .05). If we take 2.82 / .6, we find that 1 can of four loko is equal to 4.7 cans of 5% alcohol beer. This is also the same a 4.7 shots of 80 proof alcohol. (1 shot is 1.5 fl oz at 40%)


How many beers equals a fifth of whisky?

A fifth of whiskey is one fifth of a gallon, or 25.6 oz. Since there are 25.6 oz in a fifth, and 1.5 oz in a shot, there are 17.0667 shots in a fifth. A typical beer contains around 5% alcohol (.05) and each beer is 12 oz. A shot is 1.5 oz at 40%, so 1.5(.40)=.6(amount of pure alcohol). A typical beer is 12 oz at 5%, so 12(.05)=.6(amount of pure alcohol). So, usually a shot is nearly equivalent to a beer. Knowing this, you could assume that 17.0667 beers would equal close to a fifth of whiskey.
