  1. According to Australian low-risk drinking guidelines, healthy adults should drink no more than how many standard drinks per day?

    Answer: 2 standard drinks

    Australian health guidelines recommend no more than 2 standard drinks per day for healthy adults to keep the risk of alcohol-related harm low.

  2. Where are customers legally required to be able to find the number of standard drinks in a packaged alcohol product in Australia?

    Answer: On the product label

    Australian law requires alcohol product labels to display the number of standard drinks, helping consumers make informed decisions about their intake.

  3. A customer says they had 'a couple of drinks' before arriving. As RSA staff, what is the most useful approach to assess their alcohol intake?

    Answer: Ask what types and sizes of drinks they had to estimate standard drinks consumed

    Asking about drink types and volumes allows staff to estimate standard drinks consumed, providing a more objective measure than the patron's subjective feeling.

  4. A pint (570mL) of full-strength beer at 4.8% ABV contains approximately how many standard drinks?

    Answer: 2.2 standard drinks

    A 570mL pint at 4.8% ABV contains approximately 2.2 standard drinks (570 × 0.048 × 0.789 ÷ 10 ≈ 2.16).

  5. A customer finishes a full 750mL bottle of wine (13% ABV) over two hours. How many standard drinks have they consumed?

    Answer: 7.7 standard drinks

    A 750mL bottle of wine at 13% ABV contains approximately 7.7 standard drinks regardless of how quickly it is consumed.

  6. Why do cocktails present a particular challenge for RSA staff trying to monitor standard drink consumption?

    Answer: Cocktails may combine multiple spirits or large alcohol volumes, making standard drink counts difficult to track accurately

    Cocktails often combine multiple types of alcohol in varying quantities, making it harder to accurately track the total number of standard drinks served to a patron.

  7. How should RSA staff in NSW primarily apply their knowledge of standard drinks in practice?

    Answer: To monitor patron consumption and make informed decisions about when to refuse service

    Knowledge of standard drinks helps RSA staff objectively monitor alcohol consumption and make responsible decisions about when service should be slowed or refused.
