Every time I ask what defines a "drink" in absolute terms of alcohol content I get downvoted too.

  It's 8 grams or 10 mL of pure alcohol. So you would need to calculate that based on percentage and volume for the specific drink. But you can reason using the "standard beer/wine/whiskey units" as a rule of thumb and round up by 1 or 2 total drinks over the course of say a few IPAs vs Budweisers. Same if you drink 100 proof vs 80. Or 15% zinfandel vs 12% merlot.

  A good rule of thumb that my college alcohol edu used was a 12 oz beer, 4 oz glass of wine, and 1.5 oz shot all equaled one drink, at 4,12,and 36% respectively. You'll obviously need to adjust for those numbers but it has always helped anchor me (even though I haven't had a 4% beer since college).
