Standard drink

   

In the Australia a system of standard drinks is employed for a rough measure of the amount of alcohol in different drinks. A glass of wine or a shot of spirits are considered a standard drink. A 375 ml bottle of beer can vary from 0.9 standard drinks for light beer to 1.4 for normal beer.

Most alcoholic beverages sold within Australia are required to list the total number of standard drinks contained within the bottle as well as the alcoholic volume.
