Compare a 12-ounce glass of 5% beer with a 5-ounce glass of 12% wine. Which one holds more alcohol?

Correct answer: Both have an equal amount.

Answer options

  1. ABoth have an equal amount Correct
  2. BThe glass of wine
  3. CThe glass of beer

Why

Multiply the serving size by the strength: 12 ounces at 5% and 5 ounces at 12% both come to 0.6 ounce of pure alcohol. Each counts as one standard drink, the same as a 1.5-ounce shot of 40% liquor.
