Summary. A general rule of thumb is that one 12 ounces (354 ml) beer with 5% ABV equals one hard drink shot.
The rule of thumb is that a glass of wine is worth one standard drink and women get one of these a night and men get two. However, this makes the assumption that the wine is only 12% ABV. So if you're drinking a high-alcohol wine like Port or Thunderbird (at 20% ABV), the recommended serving size is about half.
According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, drinking is considered to be in the moderate or low-risk range for women at no more than three drinks in any one day and no more than seven drinks per week. For men, it is no more than four drinks a day and no more than 14 drinks per week.

An Australian standard drink contains 10g of alcohol (12.5ml of pure alcohol). You can count the number of standard drinks you are consuming to keep track of how much you are drinking.
The general rule of thumb is that 2 standard drinks in the first hour will raise your BAC to 0.05%, and 1 standard per hour thereafter will maintain that level. To do a quick calculation of whether you are over 0.05% BAC, simply take the number of hours since your first drink and add 1 to it.
A standard drink contains 10 grams of alcohol regardless of the size of the container (glass, bottle, can) or type of alcohol (beer, wine, spirit). 30 ml spirits = 1 standard drink.
The alcohol bottle size known as a nip is also called a mini and contains 50 ml of alcohol. That's about 1.7 ounce and approximately one 1.5-ounce shot.
A standard drink contains 10 grams of alcohol. This is equal to: 285 mL of full strength beer. 425 mL of low strength beer.
The formula to work out the number of standard drinks in an alcoholic drink is: Amount of drink in litres (the volume of the container) multiplied by the percent by volume of alcohol (%) multiplied by 0.789 (which is the density of ethanol at room temperature) equals the number of standard drinks.
1.5 fl oz shot ofEach beverage portrayed above represents one U.S. standard drink (also known as an alcoholic drink-equivalent).
After a drink is swallowed, the alcohol is rapidly absorbed into the blood (20% through the stomach and 80% through the small intestine), with effects felt within 5 to 10 minutes after drinking. It usually peaks in the blood after 30-90 minutes and is carried through all the organs of the body.
Wine: A 750 ml wine bottle contains at least five standard drinks. A bottle of fortified wine, such as sherry or port, contains almost eight standard drinks. Hard liquor: A half pint of hard liquor contains four and a half drinks, and one pint contains eight and a half drinks.
