Standard Drink Calculator

Enter volume and ABV to see how many US standard drinks (14 g alcohol each) your beverage contains.

In the US, one standard drink contains 14 grams (0.6 fl oz) of pure alcohol — the amount in 12 oz of regular beer (5%), 5 oz of table wine (12%), or 1.5 oz of spirits (40%). Craft beers and mixed cocktails often count as 1.5–3 standard drinks.

There is no established safe level of alcohol — less is always better. Knowing your actual intake in standard drinks helps you set meaningful, honest goals.
