Question

knowledge check
you have a table of 2 customers. one orders one double tequila shot (2 oz.) and a 12 oz.
glass of beer. the other customer orders a single shot (1.5 oz.) of whiskey and a 12 oz.
glass of beer. how many standard drinks have you served?
please choose the correct answer.
a) more than 5 standard drinks
b) less than 4 standard drinks
c) 3 standard drinks
d) just over 4 standard drinks (4.3)

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate standard drinks for first customer

A double tequila shot (2 oz) is \(2\) standard drinks (assuming 1 oz = 1 standard drink for spirits in this context), and a 12 - oz glass of beer is \(1\) standard drink. So for the first customer: \(2 + 1=3\) standard drinks.

Step2: Calculate standard drinks for second customer

A single shot (1.5 oz) of whiskey is \(1.5\) standard drinks, and a 12 - oz glass of beer is \(1\) standard drink. So for the second customer: \(1.5+1 = 2.5\) standard drinks.

Step3: Calculate total standard drinks

Total \(=3 + 2.5=5.5\) standard drinks.

Answer:

a) More than 5 standard drinks
