The current Dietary Guidelines for Americans, published by the U.S. Departments of Health and Human Services and Agriculture, define a drink of alcohol as “12 oz. of regular beer, 5 oz. of wine, and 1.5 oz. of 80-proof distilled spirits.”

In the United States, one “standard” drink (or one alcoholic drink equivalent) contains roughly 14 grams of pure alcohol, which is found in: 12 ounces of regular beer, which is usually about 5% alcohol. 5 ounces of wine, which is typically about 12% alcohol. 1.5 ounces of distilled spirits, which is about 40% alcohol.

12oz beer, 1 ounce of 80 proof liquor, and 4oz wine contain approximately the same amount of pure alcohol. This answer has been confirmed as correct and helpful.

Summary. A general rule of thumb is that one 12 ounces (354 ml) beer with 5% ABV equals one hard drink shot.

Do the math: The standard shot glass holds 1.5 ounces of liquid. So that means that over the course of one hour, a player drinking beer will have 60 1.5 oz shot glasses of brew, for a total of 90 ounces, or 7.5 beers (assuming the average beer is 12 ounces).

Before you call bottoms up… Know that a shot of tequila—that’s 1.5 ounces—has eight times the alcohol content of beer! Before you call bottoms up… Know that a shot of tequila—that’s 1.5 ounces—has eight times the alcohol content of beer!

Dulce Vida is an Austin-based company that makes a full line of 100 percent organic tequilas bottled at 100-proof. The highland-grown agave is bright and floral, providing the blanco expression with a lemony, minty nose with hints of green olive and grassiness on the palate.

50 percent

Tequila is commonly served neat in Mexico and as a shot with salt and lime around the world. Tequila must have between 35 and 55 percent alcohol content (70 and 110 U.S. proof). It must contain at least 40 percent alcohol (80 U.S. proof) to be sold in the United States and Canada.

It depends on your body weight and on how used you are to drinking alcohol. Personally, I weigh 63 kgs and it takes me 3 tequila shots to get drunk, but some male friends of mine can drink up to 6 or 7…it all depends. I would say the average person would get a buzz off of 2–3 tequila shots. That’s just for a buzz.

The average alcohol content of Tequila is between 32% to 60%. Whiskey is an alcoholic beverage made from fermented grain mash. You can use different grains to make Whiskey including barley, corn, rye, and wheat….Tequila vs Whiskey.

The accepted amount of liquor served in a shot glass in the U.S. is 1.5 ounces or 44 milliliters. Even though the government has never officially set a standard measurement for a shot, the state of Utah formally defines it as 1.5 fluid ounces.

According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, drinking is considered to be in the moderate or low-risk range for women at no more than three drinks in any one day and no more than seven drinks per week. For men, it is no more than four drinks a day and no more than 14 drinks per week.

For example, if you asked for two fingers of whiskey, you would get straight, room-temperature spirit poured in an old fashioned glass (or tumbler) to the height of two fingers. This would result in two fingers equaling two ounces and so on.

Some people tap their glass on the bar as a quiet tribute to absent friends and comrades. In Ireland, it was believed that liquor contained spirits that might be harmful if consumed, and tapping the glass dispelled those spirits. Some believe that you cheers to the future, but a tap on the bar acknowledges the past.

In the measurement of distilled spirits, a finger of whiskey refers to the amount of whiskey that would fill a glass to the level of one finger wrapped around the glass at the bottom.

The best way to drink whiskey neat is out of a lowball cocktail glass at room temperature. A whiskey neat is a drink made to be sipped slowly—the goal is to appreciate the nuance of the whiskey. It may be poured the same way as a shot of liquor but it definitely shouldn’t be consumed all in one gulp.

Whiskey is often measured in “fingers”. Simply hold your finger next to the glass and pour yourself a finger’s width. For instance, if you were to order two fingers of whiskey, you’d end up with roughly two adult-sized finger widths of whiskey in your glass.

1 finger is exactly 7/8 inches. Using SI units 1 finger is 0.022225 meters….Please share if you found this tool useful:

1.5 inches = 13 finger So, 1.5 inches = 1.5 × 0.222222222222 = 13 or 0.333333333333 finger.

The most common object used to estimate inches is the adult thumb, which is about 1 inch wide. Other options may include a water bottle cap, a detachable pencil eraser, the width of a standard rubber eraser, the length of a paperclip, and the length of a standard small sewing pin.
