Which beverage has the largest standard drink size listed?

• A. Vodka Cruiser
• B. UDL
• C. Light Strength Beer
• D. Scotch Whiskey

Answer: (C)

Standard drinks show how much alcohol a serving contains, so you compare by how much ethanol is in each beverage’s usual serve. One standard drink is about 10 grams of pure alcohol, so you look at both the amount and the strength (volume and ABV) of each drink.

In this question, the Light Strength Beer is labeled with the largest amount of alcohol per typical serving among the options. Even though it’s called “light,” its standard-serving size results in more of the alcohol being counted as standard drinks than the other beverages listed. The other drinks have smaller standard-drink counts per their typical servings, so the one with the highest listed standard-drink amount is the best answer.
