To compare the alcohol content of a drink, you must know two things:
1. The alcohol content of the drink (beer and whiskeys vary!)
2. The liquid volume of each drink.
That's logical, right? The more you drink, the stronger the effect...and the stronger the alcohol content
Once you know these things, you multiply the alcohol content by the volume (ounces), to get a final product alcohol amount.
Example: 12 oz. of 6% alcohol beer
1.25 oz. (a normal shot) of 40% (80 proof) whiskey
12 x 6% = .72
1.25 x 40% = .5
So in THIS scenario, the 12 oz. beer puts more alcohol in your blood than the single shot.
However, some beers go as low as 3.5% or up to 8%, and whiskeys can typically go from 35% up to 75% (yikes!). And shot sizes will vary too (depends on the bartender)! So you have to accurately know the alcohol content percentage and the ounces accurately to make an accurate comparison.
"Would you like a beer with a shot of whiskey?" means asking if you want to have a beer along with a shot of whiskey.
"Would you prefer a beer or a shot of whiskey?"
By volume, no. By standard serving (1 can beer = 1 shot of whiskey) they are equal.
Yes, a boilermaker is a drink where a shot of whiskey is dropped into a glass of beer.
A classic boilermaker cocktail typically consists of a shot of whiskey served alongside a glass of beer. To prepare, simply pour the shot of whiskey into a shot glass and serve it alongside a glass of beer. The drinker can choose to either sip the whiskey and beer separately or drop the shot of whiskey into the beer and drink it as a "boilermaker" shot.

A boiler maker drink is a combination of a shot of whiskey and a glass of beer. It is typically made by dropping the shot of whiskey into the beer and then drinking it quickly.
The traditional drink of boilermakers is a shot of whiskey followed by a beer. It is typically consumed by taking the shot of whiskey first and then immediately chasing it with the beer.
To prepare and enjoy a boiler maker shot, start by pouring a shot of whiskey into a glass. Then, choose a beer that complements the whiskey, such as a lager or stout. Drop the shot of whiskey into the beer and drink it quickly before the whiskey has a chance to curdle. Enjoy the combination of flavors and the quick buzz from the shot. Cheers!
If you take an imperial pint as being just over 568ml with around 5% abv and a shot of 25ml with around 35%abv then a pint has approximately 28ml of alcohol in it whereas a shot has approximately 8ml of alcohol in it. A shot of stronger whiskey (40% abv), (or vodka or any other spirit) will have approximately 10ml of alcohol in it So yes, a pint has more alcohol in it than a standard shot of whiskey. Shots get absorbed quicker as they contain less liquid and are drunk faster so you will get drunk quicker from shots
