Which of the following represents the most units of alcohol when consumed?

To determine which option represents the most units of alcohol, it's important to understand how alcohol units are calculated. In the United States and various other regions, one unit typically represents 10 grams (or approximately 8 grams) of pure alcohol.

Each option presents a different volume and alcohol by volume (ABV), which we'll clarify to find the one with the highest alcohol content.

When looking closely at the choices, a 75 cc bottle (which is equivalent to 750 ml) of wine with an ABV of 12% contains a significant amount of alcohol. The calculation is as follows:

• For wine, the formula to calculate the amount of pure alcohol is:

(volume in ml x ABV) / 1000.

• For 750 ml of wine at 12%:

(750 ml x 12) / 1000 = 9 units of alcohol.

This calculation reveals that the 75 cc bottle of wine, with 12% alcohol, contains a substantial quantity of pure alcohol. In comparison, the other options would yield fewer units when calculated based on their respective volumes and alcohol content.

The lager in the first option may seem high at 440 ml, but its actual ABV is crucial
