What amount of alcohol does a standard drink contain?

  1. 10 g

  2. 14 g or 0.6 fl. oz.

  3. 20 g

  4. 0.5 fl. oz.

The correct answer is: 14 g or 0.6 fl. oz.

A standard drink contains about 14 grams of alcohol or 0.6 fluid ounces. This amount is equivalent to a 12oz bottle of beer, 5oz glass of wine, or 1.5oz shot of liquor. Option A and C are incorrect because they suggest a higher amount of alcohol, while option D is incorrect because it suggests a much lower amount. It's important to know the standard amount of alcohol in a drink in order to practice safe and responsible drinking habits.
