About 3

Step-by-step explanation:

If someone has 8 fl. oz. of 16% wine AND 2 fl. oz. of 40% vodka, how many standard drinks has that person consumed? Select the most accurate answer.

about 2

about 3

about 4

about 5

about 6

Standard serving size for wine and vodka is 6 fl. oz. and 1.5 fl. oz. respectively.

So 8 oz. of wine is about 1 2/6 or 1.3 of a standard drink and 2 oz. of vodka is also about 2/1.5 = 1.3 of a standard drink.

Combining, that person has consumed about 1.3+1.3 = about 3 standard drinks.
