True or False? A standard size drink,regardless of the type of alcohol, contains 0.6 ounces of pure alcohol. True False

True.

A standard size drink in the United States typically contains about 0.6 ounces (14 grams) of pure alcohol. This is true regardless of whether the drink is beer, wine, or distilled spirits. For example:
- A 12-ounce beer with 5% alcohol content
- A 5-ounce glass of wine with 12% alcohol content
- A 1.5-ounce shot of distilled spirits with 40% alcohol content

Each of these standard drinks contains approximately the same amount of pure alcohol.
