C. 1 standard drink
D. 3 standard drinks
A?
What does your book say? I'd think that C would be the preferred answer.
Its C
1 drink!
To determine the correct answer, we need to understand the concept of the recommended alcohol consumption per hour. The recommended rate is to have no more than one standard drink per hour. This rate allows the body enough time to metabolize the alcohol and minimize the risk of intoxication.
A standard drink is typically defined as containing around 14 grams of pure alcohol. It is equivalent to a 12-ounce (355 milliliters) beer with about 5% alcohol content, a 5-ounce (148 milliliters) glass of wine with about 12% alcohol content, or a 1.5-ounce (44 milliliters) shot of distilled spirits (such as whiskey or vodka) with about 40% alcohol content.
Therefore, the correct answer to the question is C. 1 standard drink.
