5 Most Common Responsible Service of Alcohol Sample Questions & Answers
Preview 5 practice questions with answers and explanations that name their source.
Under the Australian guidelines, what is the definition of one 'standard drink'?
A standard drink is defined by the amount of alcohol, not the container: 10 grams of pure alcohol (WA Health; State Library of NSW). Glass sizes only equal one standard drink for a particular strength, for example 285 mL of full-strength beer or 30 mL of spirits.
Which formula gives the number of standard drinks in a container of alcohol?
Standard drinks = volume in litres × ABV % × 0.789 (0.789 is the specific gravity of ethanol). For example 0.375 L × 5 × 0.789 = 1.5 standard drinks.
About how many standard drinks are in a 375 mL can of 5.0% ABV beer?
0.375 L × 5.0 × 0.789 = 1.48, so about 1.5 standard drinks. Many people assume a can is one standard drink.
About how many standard drinks are in a 375 mL can of mid-strength beer (3.5% ABV)?
0.375 L × 3.5 × 0.789 = 1.04, so about 1.0 standard drink.
About how many standard drinks are in a 375 mL bottle of light beer (2.7% ABV)?
0.375 L × 2.7 × 0.789 = 0.80, so about 0.8 standard drinks. Light beer still contains alcohol that counts towards a person's intake.
