I assume this is a U.S.-centric graphic (as most things on Reddit are), in which case:

> In the United States, one "standard" drink (or 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
