Question

question 3 / 5
which of the following is true about standard drinks?
most mixed drinks contain exactly one standard drink.
beer can contain no more that 6% alcohol by volume.
most glasses hold more than one standard drink.
all of the above

Explanation:

• Mixed drinks often have more than one standard drink due to multiple spirits/ingredients, so the first statement is false.
• Beers can have alcohol content above 6% (e.g., craft beers, high-alcohol lagers), so the second statement is false.
• Most typical serving glasses (like wine glasses, pint glasses) hold volumes that equal more than one standard drink (a standard drink is ~14g pure alcohol; a 5oz wine glass is one standard, but larger glasses hold more, and a 12oz 5% beer is one standard, but pint glasses are 16oz which is more than one). This makes the third statement true.

Answer:

Most glasses hold more than one standard drink.
