What is a standard drink?

What will be an ideal response?


A standard drink, whether it is in a 12-ounce bottle of beer, a shot of liquor, or a 5-ounce glass of wine, contains about 1?2 ounce of alcohol. When drinks are poured at a bar or restaurant, the portion size is often large and this allows the customer to consume multiple standard drinks in one glass or mug. Mixed drinks also often contain more than one standard drink.
