How many beers equal the effect of a glass of wine?

Answer 1

That will vary extensively, as one's size, percentage of body fat, and frequency of drinking factor in. Further, beers range from about 4% to 20% alcohol for common brews. Also, how drunk do you mean? The body processes about one 12 oz, 5% beer an hour, if you drink more than that, you'll veer more and more into drunkenness.

Answer 2

In general, beer has a lower alcohol content, so one 12 ounce glass of beer is approximately equal in alcohol to one 5 ounce glass of wine.

These are generalities; some beers are stronger than others, and wines vary considerably as well.

Answer 3

Standard servings of beer, wine and liquor contain the same amount of absolute alcohol, 0.6 oz.
