To figure this out, we need to do some quick math - don't worry, it's not as painful as it sounds! If we assume that our pint of beer has an average alcohol by volume (ABV) of around 5%, that means that out of the 15 ounces of liquid, about 0.75 ounces are pure alcohol. Now, let's divide that by the amount of alcohol in a standard drink (0.6 ounces) and... voilà!
We get a result of around 1.25 standard drinks in a single pint of beer - who knew, right? It's kind of like finding out that your favorite video game has a secret level, or that your go-to coffee shop has a hidden menu item (yes, please!). It's a fun little fact that can make you appreciate your pint in a whole new way.
