One standard drink typically equals a 12-ounce beer with 5% alcohol content, a 5-ounce glass of wine with 12% alcohol content, or a 1.5-ounce shot of distilled spirits with 40% alcohol content.
The alcohol in a standard drink is metabolized in about one hour.
One 12 ounce beer with 5% alcohol equals one drink. Standard beers are 5% alcohol, but some are higher. Always take a glance to see what the alcohol content is. A 16 ounce Solo cup full of beer equals one and a third drinks.Other drink equivalents:4 oz wine (10-12% alcohol) equals one drink1/2 shot of Bacardi 151 rum equals one drinkShots poured to the first indent of a 16 ounce Solo cup can equal between 3 to 4 drinks1.25 ounces of brandy equals one drink1.25 ounces of 40% alcohol liquors equals one drink7 ounces of malt equals one drink10 ounces of a wine cooler equals one drinkLong Island iced tea can equal 5 drinks (seeing they contain about 5 shots)The standard shot glass is 1.5 ounces.
12 ounces of wine cooler
.60 ounces of absolute alcohol is considered one standard drink. Assuming common values for alcohol by volume percentages, this gives: 12 oz. of beer. 5 oz. of wine. 1.5 oz. of hard liquor.
The amount of alcohol in a standard drink varies in different countries, from 6 grams in Austria to 19.75 grams in Japan. (Japan, as a country, is in serious denial about the extent of their drinking problems. Binge drinking is sort of a national sport.)In the United States, a standard drink (unit) of alcohol is any drink that contains about 14 grams of pure alcohol (about 0.6 fluid ounces or 1.2 tablespoons). In the US, a standard drink is calculated as roughly the amount of alcohol that can be metabolized by the human body in one hour. In other words, if you drank one unit per hour you could (at least in theory) continue to drink indefinitely without becoming intoxicated. In fact, metabolic rates vary among individuals and by gender, so this is not even an accurate approximation.
Alcohol is metabolized by the liver at a rate of one ounce per hour. 1 ounce of alcohol = one standard drink or beer.
For a female one "standard drink" per day, for a male two per day. A standard drink is one 12-ounce beer, four ounces of wine, or one shot of liquor.
One standard drink (in the US*) is equal to 0.6 ounces (about 14 grams) of pure alcohol, the average amount that the human liver can metabolize in one hour. The actual amount of time depends on the health of the individual's liver, and on gender. Women do not metabolize alcohol as efficiently or rapidly as men.The relationship of a standard drink to blood alcohol content also depends on the size of the person, their body mass index, and of course gender. The general rule of thumb is that 2 "Standard Drinks*" in the first hour will raise your BAC about to 0.07%, and one "Standard Drink" per hour thereafter will maintain that level.*The amount of alcohol in a standard drink varies from country to country.
This is variable. It depends on a number of factors which include: • How often you drink • If you have eaten • Your size • Your weight The list is endless; there is no specific time, sorry. Also there isn't really such thing as a standard drink; what's standard to you could be someone else's mouth-wash.
The body typically metabolizes alcohol at a rate of about one standard drink per hour. This means it would take approximately one hour to completely metabolize the alcohol in one beer, which is considered one standard drink.
A standard drink refers to (a) 12 ounces of beer, (b) five ounces of wine or (c) 1 & 1/2 ounces of distilled spirits.
