clive drank 5 oz of vodka from a shot glass while toasting his friends birthday.

Explanation:

A standard drink in the US generally contains about 14 grams (0.6 ounces or 1.2 tablespoons) of pure alcohol. For wine, a standard - size pour is 5 oz; for beer, it's 12 oz; and for 80 - proof distilled spirits like vodka, it's 1.5 oz. Melinda drank 8 oz + 8 oz = 16 oz of wine, which is more than a standard drink. LaShaunda sipped 8.5 oz of beer, which is less than a standard 12 - oz beer. Trevor drank two full mugs of malt liquor, likely more than a standard drink. Clive drank 5 oz of vodka, which is much more than a standard 1.5 - oz shot of 80 - proof vodka.

Answer:

LaShaunda sipped 8.5 oz from her beer all night while listening to the band.
