Standard servings of beer, wine and spirits -- a 12-ounce can of beer, a 5-ounce glass of wine and a cocktail with 1 1/2-ounces of 80-proof spirits -- all contain the same amount of absolute alcohol.

It's the total amount that counts.

Very true.

I've come across many alcoholics who say something like.......I can't be an alcoholic because I only drink beer.

Thanks for posting that information.
