How much alcohol is typically contained in a standard drink size?

  1. 0.5 oz or 14 mL

  2. 0.6 oz or 17 mL

  3. 0.7 oz or 20 mL

  4. 0.8 oz or 23 mL

The correct answer is: 0.6 oz or 17 mL

A standard drink size typically contains about 0.6 ounces or 17 milliliters of pure alcohol. This measurement helps to standardize the serving size across different types of alcoholic beverages, allowing individuals to understand and monitor their alcohol consumption more effectively. Recognizing a standard drink size is crucial for promoting responsible drinking and ensuring people do not exceed safe consumption limits. The other options reflect varying amounts of alcohol that, while being close, do not align with the widely accepted definition of a standard drink size. Understanding the correct measurement empowers individuals to make informed choices when consuming alcohol, contributing to safer drinking practices.
