A standard drink is 0.6 ounces of pure alcohol, regardless of gender. The maximum recommended daily intake is two standard drinks for males, one for females (who tend to be smaller and who do not metabolize alcohol as efficiently as men due to lower enzyme levels).

A standard drink of 80 proof (the usual proof) of distilled spirits consists of 1.5 ounce, either straight or in a mixed drink. It contains the same amount of alcohol as a standard serving of beer (12 ounces) or dinner wine (five ounces).

Jack Daniels, Bacardi (my fave) , Remy martin, Red label, Grey goose--- so basically a spirit is any of the following: Vodka, Whisky, Brandy and Rum, tequila, gin, etc.
