>Vs. the CDC's current upper limit for "moderate" male drinking is 2 drinks/day, and they're very quick to specify that "a" beer is at most 12 oz. of 5% ABV (or 8 oz. of 7% ABV, or ...). One 16 oz. pint of 7.5% is two drinks.
Doing maths when drunk is fun, and the cdc be damned.
Nobody understands the difference between one drink, and two drinks = one drink, as well.
We all work in pints and litres. What damage/ fun is a 500ml of 9% beer costing me? Half a pint of 4.8%? Nobody asks for 8oz of beer.
Do they......?
- wizardwes 3y agoYour average glass bottle or can is 12 oz. That's not some arbitrary measurement, it's literally the most likely size for you to get. Sure most people aren't asking for an (imperial) cup of beer, but the idea is to recognize how much you're actually drinking.
- bell-cot 3y ago> Your average glass bottle or can is 12 oz. True, at least in my part of the US. Though larger cans seem to be a growing trend. And "on tap" beer is very often served in other sizes. OTOH, 5% ABV seems to be anything but the norm.
