Alcohol percentage in a drink and how much 2 drink......please read!!!?!
Answers: ok i know there are malt beverages, liquors and wines......ok so the alcohol content in beer i sumtimes see 4-6% and wines 12-19% and liquors 30-50%. which of these could i drink the whole bottle or a glass full and which do i need shots of? how can i tell? and is the alcohol content (ex 12%) for the entire bottle or is it for every time you drink a shot or glass full you get 12% out of that shot or glass full? im a first time drinker so help me.
beer is a 12 ounce serving normal sized bottle or can), wine is per glass - 8 ounces?, everything else/hard liquor is a 1 ounce shot - to get those alcohol percentages, the alcohol is "per serving" as described above and the pct alcohol is the same in every serving of the same drink. to reduce the alcohol content of hard liquor - you can mix it with soda, then you could drink a 12 oz glass of soda with vodka and get the same amount of alcohol as drinking a shot of vodka, but you could drink it over a longer period of time and not get wasted so fast
Standard portions -
12 oz. beer
4-5 oz. wine
1-1/2 oz. liquor (a shot or in a mixed drink)
These portions are considered "one drink."
A 150 pound man can safely drink one drink per hour without becoming impaired. The same man consuming three or more drinks in an hour would have a blood alcohol content that exceeds the legal limit.
Eating food with a drink slows the absorption of alcohol. A high percentage of body fat on a person increases the rate of alcohol absorption (they get drunk faster).
Hope this helps.
