Which drink contains more alcohol?

12 oz of beer
5 oz of wine
1.5 oz of liquor
All contain the same amount; 6 oz (18 ml) of alcohol

The correct answer is: All contain the same amount; 6 oz (18 ml) of alcohol

The correct answer is that all the listed drinks contain the same amount of alcohol. This is based on the standard measurement used to define a "standard drink" in the United States, which is approximately 0.6 ounces (14 grams) of pure alcohol. When comparing the three types of beverages provided: - A typical 12 oz serving of beer (with an alcohol content of around 5% ABV) contains about 0.6 ounces of alcohol. - A 5 oz glass of wine (usually around 12% ABV) also has about 0.6 ounces of alcohol. - A 1.5 oz shot of liquor (with a typical alcohol content of 40% ABV) similarly contains approximately 0.6 ounces of alcohol. Thus, when measuring by the standard drink definition, all three drinks mentioned contain roughly the same amount of alcohol, leading to the conclusion that they are equivalent in terms of alcohol content.
