Which beverage contains the same amount of alcohol as a 5 oz glass of wine?

A 5 oz glass of wine typically contains about 12% alcohol by volume (ABV), which is roughly equivalent to 0.6 ounces of pure alcohol. When comparing beverages, it's essential to look at the amount of pure alcohol each one contains.

The correct answer highlights that 1.5 oz of whiskey, which usually has an ABV of around 40%, also provides about 0.6 ounces of pure alcohol. This makes it equivalent in alcohol content to the 5 oz glass of wine.

In terms of the other options, while light beer may have less alcohol content per volume, typically around 4-5% ABV, it would require more than just 12 oz to match the alcohol content of the wine. Similarly, options like 10 oz of regular beer would also not reach the alcohol equivalence, given that standard beer often contains around 5-6% ABV. Finally, an ounce of vodka, while higher in ABV content than whiskey, also does not equate to the same amount of alcohol found in the 5 oz glass of wine.
