A serving of beer or wine contains less alcohol than a whiskey?

Here's a breakdown:

* Beer: A standard serving is 12 ounces, with an ABV (alcohol by volume) ranging from 4% to 6%.

* Wine: A standard serving is 5 ounces, with an ABV ranging from 12% to 15%.

* Whiskey: A standard serving is 1.5 ounces, with an ABV typically around 40% (but can range).

Here's why you might be confused:

* Serving sizes matter: A single serving of wine often has more alcohol than a single serving of beer.

* ABV varies: A strong beer (like a craft IPA) might have a higher ABV than a light wine.

* Whiskey is concentrated: While a single serving of whiskey is small, its high ABV means it contains a significant amount of alcohol.

So, comparing a single serving of beer or wine to a single serving of whiskey isn't a fair comparison. It's all about the specific drink and the serving size.
