Which beverage has the largest standard drink size?

• A. Red Wine
• B. Sauvignon Blanc
• C. Vodka Cruiser
• D. Moscato

Answer: (D)

The main idea is that a standard drink is a fixed amount of pure alcohol. The volume you drink to reach that fixed amount depends on how strong the drink is. The weaker the drink, the more you have to pour to hit the same 10 g of alcohol. Moscato typically has the lowest alcohol content among these options. Because it’s weaker, you need a larger volume of it to reach the same 10 g of alcohol that constitutes one standard drink. The other beverages contain more alcohol per millilitre, so a smaller amount gets you to one standard drink. That combination makes Moscato the option with the largest standard drink size.
