Standard Drink Calculator
How to Use the Calculator
Beer, wine, or distilled spirits – you only need 2 pieces of information to calculate how many standard drinks are in a container:
1) Volume (typically shown as ounces or mL)
2) Alcohol by volume (typically shown as % ABV or ‘proof’)
This works for canned cocktails and other ready-to-drink (RTD) beverages too, regardless of whether they are spirit-, wine-, or malt-based.
Moderate alcohol consumption is defined as up to 2 standard drinks per day for males and up to 1 standard drink per day for females.
Enter the information below to calculate the number of standard drinks.
