Practice question

Which one contains more alcohol?

  1. 1.5 ounces of spirits (45ml)
  2. 12 ounces of beer (360ml)
  3. 4 ounces of wine (150ml)
  4. They all have the same amount; .6 of an ounce (18ml) of alcohol

Answer: D — They all have the same amount; .6 of an ounce (18ml) of alcohol

Option D is correct because regardless of whether you drink 1.5 ounces of spirits (45ml), 12 ounces of beer (360ml), or 4 ounces of wine (150ml), they all contain the same amount of alcohol, which is 0.6 of an ounce (18ml). This is a standardized calculation used to compare the alcohol content across different types of alcoholic beverages. It's essential to understand this equivalence, especially when it comes to responsible drinking and understanding the alcohol content in various drink choices.
