Standard Size Drinks

Standard size drinks are what help determine your BAC. If it takes you 2 drinks to have a BAC at .05, do we mean 2 red cups full of jungle juice? No - standard size drinks, are exactly that, they standardize the serving size of alcohol so you can compare across drinks. Having these standard size drinks makes it easy to compare your consumption of alcohol. These make a Bud Light the same as a shot of Jack Daniels.
