  1. A schooner (425mL) of mid-strength beer at 3.5% ABV contains approximately how many standard drinks?

    Answer: 1.2 standard drinks

    A 425mL schooner at 3.5% ABV contains approximately 1.2 standard drinks (425 × 0.035 × 0.789 ÷ 10 ≈ 1.17).

  2. On average, how many standard drinks can a healthy adult body process per hour?

    Answer: 1 standard drink

    The average healthy adult body can process approximately 1 standard drink per hour, and nothing — not food, coffee, or exercise — can speed this up.

  3. Which of the following serves contains the MOST standard drinks?

    Answer: 150mL glass of wine (13%)

    A 150mL glass of wine at 13% ABV contains approximately 1.5 standard drinks, more than the other options listed.

  4. A bartender makes a cocktail using 60mL of spirits at 40% ABV. Approximately how many standard drinks does this cocktail contain?

    Answer: 2 standard drinks

    60mL of spirits at 40% ABV contains approximately 1.9 standard drinks (60 × 0.40 × 0.789 ÷ 10 ≈ 1.9), rounding to approximately 2 standard drinks.

  5. What does the figure '0.789' represent in the standard drink calculation formula?

    Answer: The density of ethanol in grams per millilitre

    0.789 is the density of ethanol (pure alcohol) in grams per millilitre, used to convert the volume of alcohol into its weight in grams.

  6. A 330mL premixed spirit drink at 5% ABV contains approximately how many standard drinks?

    Answer: 1.3 standard drinks

    A 330mL premixed drink at 5% ABV contains approximately 1.3 standard drinks (330 × 0.05 × 0.789 ÷ 10 ≈ 1.3).

  7. Two drinks are both 375mL in volume but have different standard drink counts. What is the most likely reason?

    Answer: Their different alcohol by volume (ABV) percentages

    Standard drink counts depend on the volume of pure alcohol, so two drinks of equal volume with different ABV percentages will contain different numbers of standard drinks.
