Liquor Bottle Sizes Calculator - Pure Alcohol Volume & Standard Drinks
The Hidden Details of Your Drink 😉
Have you ever wondered about the true essence of your favorite drinks? At Calculatorly, we help you quickly find the metrics you need and also educate you about the relevant terminology.
What a Standard Drink Is
A standard drink helps you gauge your alcohol intake, and the definition varies from country to country. For instance, in the U.S., it's roughly 14 grams of pure alcohol, equivalent to about 1.5 ounces of distilled spirits. Cross the Atlantic to the U.K., and you're looking at 8 grams or approximately 25 milliliters.
ABV - The Alphabet Behind Your Beverage
ABV, or Alcohol By Volume, is the potency of your drink. It's the percentage of pure alcohol in a beverage. A light beer might hover around 4-5% ABV, while liquors hit 40%, the value our liquor bottle sizes calculator uses by default.
Let's toast to knowledge and responsible drinking! 🥂
