Who on earth knows what 14g of alcohol is in terms of visiting a bar?
- ab71e5 1y agoBeer is about 5%, so 14 times 20 = 280ml of beer, pretty standard beer glass size
- dehrmann 1y agoLiquor is around 40% alcohol, and a shot is supposed to be 1.5 oz, so 17g. A bit more than a standard drink, but not far off.
- hug 1y ago> a shot is supposed to be 1.5 oz There is no standard definition of a shot. Serves in the US will vary wildly, as will serves across Europe. In Australia, a shot is 30ml (close enough to 1 oz to make no difference) which is exactly one standard drink or 10g of alcohol, assuming straight spirit.
- dehrmann 1y agoThere's a bar I used to go to that has Whiskey Wednesdays. They're entire whiskey menu was half off. What they don't tell you (unless you ask) is they pour 1 oz shots instead of 1.5.
- PontifexMinimus 1y agoIn Britain the standard glass size is 568 ml, i.e. a pint.
- satvikpendem 1y agoThat's about two drinks, then.
- hug 1y agoHaving not traveled to the UK, is a half pint not also a fairly standard size? Pubs in Melbourne generally serve pints and "pots", aka half-pints.
- PontifexMinimus 1y agoYou can buy beer in halfs, but people more usually buy a pint.
- MathMonkeyMan 1y ago12 oz of 5% alcohol by volume water (let's say beer) has what mass of alcohol? 0.05 * (12 oz * ~30 mL/oz * ~800 mg alcohol / mL) = ~14 grams alcohol
- Gigachad 1y agoIf it’s prepackaged (not from a tap), it’ll say on the packaging how many standard drinks it is.
