If a 12 fl. Oz. Beer has a 12% abv, how many servings of alcohol is that?
Explanation:
Alcohol by Volume (abv): The term "abv" refers to the alcohol by volume percentage in a beverage. In this case, the beer has an abv of 12%, which means that 12% of the volume of the beer is pure alcohol.
Calculation:
To calculate the amount of pure alcohol in the 12 fl. Oz. beer, we multiply the volume of the beer (12 fl. Oz.) by the abv percentage (0.12). This gives us 12 x 0.12 = 1.44 fl. Oz. of pure alcohol.
Servings of Alcohol:
Since 1 serving of alcohol equals 0.6 fl. Oz. of pure alcohol, we divide the total alcohol content (1.44 fl. Oz.) by 0.6. The result is 2.4, meaning that the 12 fl. Oz. beer with a 12% abv contains approximately 2.4 servings of alcohol.
