A standard 5-ounce glass of wine contains approximately the same amount of alcohol as:
|
Two shots of vodka.
|
|
|
Half a pint (8 oz) of regular beer.
|
|
|
One 12-ounce regular beer.
|
|
|
All of the above.
|
Explanation
It doesn’t matter whether the alcohol comes from beer, wine, or liquor-impairment is determined by the amount of alcohol consumed, not the type of beverage. For example, a 12-ounce can of beer and a 5-ounce glass of wine generally contain similar amounts of alcohol and affect driving ability similarly. In the U.S., a standard drink contains about 0.6 ounces of pure alcohol. However, drink sizes and alcohol content can vary widely. Many craft beers, wines, and mixed drinks often contain more alcohol than standard servings. Always remember: if you drink, do not drive. Impaired driving is one of the leading causes of traffic crashes and fatalities.
