Question

﻿  Why are a 12 ounce hard seltzer and 1.5 ounces of liquor both standard drinks? CHOOSE AN OPTION BELOW A. They have the same impact B. They have the same amount of calories C. They contain the same amount of pure alcohol D. They should cost the same amount F. Bath A and B.

Anu Bhardwaj · Accepted Answer

C. They contain the same amount of pure alcohol

A standard drink is defined by its amount of pure alcohol (about 14 grams in the U.S.), not by volume or calories.

12 ounces of hard seltzer (around 5% ABV) ≈ 1 standard drink.
1.5 ounces of liquor (around 40% ABV) ≈ 1 standard drink.

Both provide the same amount of ethanol, which is why they are considered equivalent.
