It's definitely a multifacted issue. I suspect that income distribution between urban centers and other areas definitely plays a major role, as does a person's risk calculus associated with performing the act itself.
As far as 'drinks per hour' guidelines go, that's usually standardized as a single unit of alcohol (e.g. 1 1.5 oz shot of 80 proof liqour OR 12 oz of a macrobrew lager OR 6 oz of a typical wine).
- brewdad 9y agoYes. I've started using a "rule of 60" for estimating an alcohol drink's impact. Alcohol % by volume x drink size in oz. A 5% beer in a 12oz bottle is equal to a 1.5 oz pour of 80 proof liquor. That 8oz snifter of 10% beer is worth 80 points. Same if you order a pint of the 5% beer instead of a bottle.
- runamok 9y agoMight want to remind people that 80 proof = 40%. Thus by your examples: 5% * 12oz = 60, 40% * 1.5oz = 60, 10% * 8oz = 80,
