Which drink has about the same amount of alcohol as one 12-ounce can of regular beer?
Correct answer: A 5-ounce glass of wine
Why
One drink is 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1½ ounces of 80-proof liquor, alone or in a mixed drink. Each holds about the same amount of alcohol, so choosing beer or wine does not make you safer to drive. Your body gets rid of only about one drink per hour, and even one drink can affect your driving.
