Which is safer to drink: beer, wine, or hard liquor?!
Answers: Silly boy, WATER! DUH!
i would say wine. But moderately.
I would say it depends on the person.
I would guess that wine is safer.
Most people would say beer or wine is "safer" than hard liquor, but it all depends on how much you have. A 12 oz. beer is the same as a 6 oz. glass of wine or a 2 oz. shot of liquor.
Now, if you mix that liquor into 8 oz. of orange juice, for example, you may be able to drink it right down without knowing. You may never just do a shot of rum, but mixed with Coca-Cola, it goes down really easily. Beer is usually seen as less harmful because you have to drink 24 oz. (3 cups) to have the same alcohol as 2 1/4 cups of wine or 3/4 cup of liquor. And not to nitpick, but a lot of Californian wines have 14-16% alcohol, not 10%. Beer doesn't like me at all...I have fewer hangovers on vodka martinis than any combination of cocktails, or straight beer, or straight wine.
Straight vodka is 40% alcohol, which is 80 proof (proof = 2 x percentage of alcohol). The highest alcohol content I've seen in hard liquor is Bacardi 151, which is 75.5% alcohol.
Just go slowly - give it time to hit you -- and follow your instincts. Most people can do 1-2 drinks (as defined above) an hour without ill effects. Also, look at your state's DMV's tables for alcohol content before you even think about driving. Designated drivers are our friends.
Wine is the healthiest of the three to drink, if drinking in moderation, particularly red wine, which can help prevent cancer. Though light beer drinking (one beer) has also been shown to possibly have health benefits.
However, if you mean safest in terms of not getting black-out drunk and/or a horrible hang over as well as a night of bad decisions, then definitely your best bet is beer. Because it has a lower percentage alcohol (less alcohol per volume of liquid) you will usually fill up before you get dangerously drunk, you have to really force the beers down for harm to come. In general with beer it is easier to control your level of drunkenness and maintain a nice buzz.
In general beer has about 5% alcohol, wine 10%, hard liquor any where from 15%-75%, it is very easy to consume way too much alcohol from taking shots of hard liquor or making strong mixed drinks, and thus it is the most dangerous.
I also can speak from experience, the worst hangovers come from drinking too much wine and hard liquor, a night of drinking too much beer has never felt as bad for me later on as getting drunk off hard liquor or wine. In addition, though it does depend on the person, for me I have found a beer buzz is the most enjoyable, hard-liquor causes a crazy drunken feeling, and wine causes a very weird drunken feeling.
In conclusion, in my experience, beer makes you happy and relaxed, wine makes you feel weird, and hard liqour makes you go crazy.
ok i dont know what you mean by safer but having less of an effect is beer..wine is stronger and of course is hard liquor
neither is safer than the other, as a 12 oz bottle of beer, an 8 oz glass of wine, and 1oz of 80 proof liquor all have the same amount of alcohol.
I think wine.
I don't think there is an issue of what you drink, but you have to consider the effects... 12 oz of beer == 5 oz of wine == 1 oz of liquor (80 proof) so it is all in the amount that you drink and realizing the ratio.
Safe as in how?
The only thing that could possibly be unsafe is the alcohol and it is the same in all three drinks.
I guess beer would be the safest since it has the least amount of alcohol per volume so you would need to drink a lot more of it than wine and hard liquor to get yourself in trouble. Plus, beer makes you feel full so you couldn't drink it as fast as the other to either.
i think wine is best
Beer. It is so diluted compared to mixed drinks and it won't make you sick as bad as wine. It is difficult to get drunk on beer compared to the other 2. It's always best to have a hearty meal before tying one on.
I would say beer....
