Answer:

The correct answer is C. Either of the above is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The concept of one drink or standard drink is intended to assist to visualize and estimate the absolute alcohol content of various drink concentrations and serving sizes. The quantity of liquid in your glass, bottle, or can does not necessarily mean how much alcohol is actually present in your drink. Different types of beer, wine, or malt liquor do have very different amounts of alcohol content. For instance, light beers have almost as much alcohol as regular beer – about 85% as much. The standard drink or one drink is used in relation to recommendations about alcohol consumption and its relative risks to health. Guidelines stated by different government, specifies low to high risk amounts in units of grams of pure alcohol per day, or week.

In the United States, one "standard" drink also known as one alcoholic drink equivalent contains roughly 14 grams of pure alcohol, which is found in:

• 12 ounces of regular beer, which is usually about 5% alcohol

• 5 ounces of wine, which is typically about 12% alcohol

• 1.5 ounces of distilled spirits, which is about 40% alcohol

Based on this premise, option C is the correct option, either of the above is correct.
