Australian Standard Drink Calculator
In Australia, a standard drink contains 10 grams of pure alcohol. This calculator helps you estimate how many standard drinks are in your beverage based on its volume, alcohol percentage (ABV), and number of servings. Understanding standard drinks is essential for responsible drinking, as serving sizes often contain more than one standard drink.
How to Use the Australian Standard Drink Calculator
Step One: Select your drink type from the dropdown menu. You can choose a preset (like beer, wine, or spirits) to auto-fill typical values, or select “Custom” to enter your own details.
Step Two: Enter the volume of your drink in milliliters (mL). This is usually found on the bottle, can, or glass, or you may estimate it if pouring from a larger container.
Step Three: Input the alcohol by volume (ABV) percentage. This is the strength of your drink and is typically printed on the label.
Step Four: Specify how many servings you plan to consume. This helps calculate your total alcohol intake.
Step Five: Click “Calculate” to see the total number of standard drinks. The result will be clearly displayed, along with an explanation of the calculation and what the value means for responsible drinking in Australia.
