Cocktail content calculatorFor drinks with two or more ingredientsHow strong is your mixed drink or cocktail? Depending on the recipe, you can have one, two, or more "standard drinks" (also known as alcoholic drink equivalents) in one cocktail or mixed drink. Click on the beverages below to see the results for some popular recipes from bartender’s guides. Be aware, though, that different bars, restaurants, and people often make them somewhat differently.

Checking your own drink recipeFor drinks not included above, try the "Check your drink" option. Search online for your drink recipe, if need be. Enter the ingredients and amounts using the drop-down menus or the "+ Add it" feature. Also enter the percent alcohol by volume (% alc/vol) for the alcohol ingredients. The % alc/vol, which is half the "proof," can be found on distilled spirits bottle labels or online. If you want to estimate the "strength" or overall alcohol content of the drink, be sure to enter the nonalcohol ingredients, including water or melted ice consumed with the drink.

Disclaimer: This calculator is for educational purposes only, to show how the number of standard drinks (or alcoholic drink equivalents) and the alcohol content (% alc/vol) of a cocktail can vary depending on the type of spirits and the recipe. Any differences between the data you enter in the calculator and the actual amount in a drink could significantly affect the accuracy of the estimates. Because of this and individual variations in alcohol sensitivity and metabolism, the calculator should not be relied upon to predict blood alcohol level or any other measure. Do not drink if you are under the legal age (21 in the United States), and do not drive or engage in other potentially dangerous activities after drinking.
Print PreviewIs your "lite" beer light in alcohol?Not necessarily. Although they have fewer calories, many light beers have almost as much alcohol as regular beer—about 85% as much, or 4.2% versus 5.0% alcohol by volume, on average. Check the alcohol content of your beverage. Malt beverages are not required to list their alcohol content on the labels, so you may need to visit the bottler's Web site. See What's a standard drink? How many "drinks" are in a bottle of wine?A typical 25-ounce (750 ml) bottle of table wine holds about 5 "standard" drinks, each containing about 5 ounces. This serving size of wine contains about the same amount of alcohol as a 12-ounce regular beer or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof spirits. Get to know what 5 ounces looks like by measuring it out at home. That way you can estimate how many standard drinks you're being served in a restaurant or bar that uses large glasses and generous serving sizes. See What's a standard drink? Mixing alcohol with certain medications can cause nausea, headaches, drowsiness, fainting, a loss of coordination, internal bleeding, heart problems, and difficulties in breathing. Alcohol can also make a medication less effective. For more information, see Harmful Interactions: Mixing Alcohol with Medicines. Examples of medical conditions for which it's safest to avoid drinking include liver disease (such as from hepatitis C), bipolar disorder, abnormal heart rhythm, and chronic pain. Among the dangers of underage drinking:
Even moderate amounts of alcohol can significantly impair driving performance and your ability to operate other machinery, whether or not you feel the effects of alcohol. Heavy drinking during pregnancy can cause brain damage and other serious problems in the baby. Because it is not yet known whether any amount of alcohol is safe for a developing baby, women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should not drink. Highest riskAbout 50% of people who drink in this group have alcohol use disorder. Increased riskThis "increased risk" category contains three different drinking pattern groups. Overall, nearly 20% of people who drink in this category have alcohol use disorder. Low-risk drinkingOnly about 2% of drinkers in this group has alcohol use disorder. A U.S. standard drink contains about 0.6 fluid ounces or 14 grams of pure alcohol (also known as an alcoholic drink-equivalent). That's the amount in 12 ounces of regular beer, 5 ounces of table wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof distilled spirits. Distilled spirits include vodka, whiskey, gin, rum, and tequila. Light to moderate drinking
Heavy or at-risk drinking
Low-risk drinkingMen: No more than 4 drinks on any day and no more than 14 per week Women: No more than 3 drinks on any day and no more than 7 per week People with a parent, grandparent, or other close relative with alcoholism have a higher risk for becoming dependent on alcohol. For many, it may be difficult to maintain low-risk drinking habits. Pace yourself: It's best to have no more than one standard drink per hour, with nonalcoholic "drink spacers" between alcohol beverages. On any day, stay within low-risk levels of no more than 4 drinks for men or 3 for women. Note that it takes about 2 hours for the adult body to completely break down a single drink. Do not drive after drinking. For comparison, regular beer is 5% alcohol by volume (alc/vol), table wine is about 12% alc/vol, and straight 80-proof distilled spirits is 40% alc/vol. The percent alcohol by volume (alc/vol) for distilled spirits is listed on bottle labels and may be found online as well. It is half the "proof," such that 80-proof spirits is 40% alc/vol. Convert proof to alc/volEnter in the proof of the alcohol in the left field to automatically calculate the alc/vol. Convert to fluid ouncesEnter in the measurement in milliliters in the left field to automatically calculate the amount in fluid ounces. How many standard drinks is a mixed drink?*Note: Depending on factors such as the type of spirits and the recipe, one mixed drink can contain from one to three or more standard drinks. The percent of “pure” alcohol, expressed here as alcohol by volume (alc/vol), varies by beverage.
How much alcohol is in a mixed drink?A standard drink (SD) is any drink that contains about 14 grams of pure alcohol (about 0.6 fluid ounces).
How much alcohol is 1 standard drink?One standard drink is defined as containing 10 grams of alcohol. The number of standard drinks in a serving of alcohol varies between type, size, brand, packaged or poured drinks. If you are unsure, read the label.
