Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A standard drink in the US contains about 0.6 ounces of pure alcohol. A 12-oz can of regular beer typically contains about 5% alcohol by volume, which is approximately 0.6 ounces of pure alcohol. Whiskey is usually around 40% alcohol by volume, so 3 ounces of whiskey contains about 1.2 ounces of pure alcohol. Therefore, Jake consumed the equivalent of about two 12-oz cans of beer.
