To accurately calculate the number of drinks consumed within a given period, it is necessary to understand what is meant by a standard drink. This is a measurement recognized internationally by scientists that contains a fixed amount of pure alcohol, which allows for the comparison of alcoholic beverages. The amount of liquid contained in a standard drink varies depending on the type and percentage of alcohol. For example, a standard drink of 13% wine will contain a serving of 129 ml, while a standard drink of 8% beer will contain a serving of 212 ml.
