How to Use the Standard Drink Calculator

Welcome to the Standard Drink Calculator. This tool is designed to help you estimate the number of standard drinks in your alcoholic beverages, as well as the total amount of pure alcohol and calories they contain. Follow the step-by-step instructions below to make the most of this calculator.

Step 1: Select Beverage Type

Begin by selecting the type of beverage you are consuming. This can include Beer, Wine, Spirits/Liquor, or a Cocktail. Choose one option from the dropdown provided in the Beverage Type field.

Step 2: Enter Alcohol Content

Next, you need to input the alcohol content of your beverage. In the Alcohol Content (%) field, enter the percentage of alcohol by volume that is labeled on your beverage. This field accepts values between 0 and 100, increasing in steps of 0.1.

The final input is the number of drinks you are assessing. Enter this into the Number of Drinks field, making sure it is at least 1 and in whole number form.

Step 5: Review Your Results

After filling in all the required fields, the calculator will automatically compute the results for you:

• Standard Drinks: This represents the total number of standard drinks in your input. It will be calculated and displayed with one decimal point for precision.
• Total Pure Alcohol (g): This is the total grams of pure alcohol present in the drinks you entered. It will also include a suffix of ‘g’ for clarity.
• Calories from Alcohol: The tool calculates the total calories derived from alcohol, shown in kilocalories (kcal). The result will have no decimal points for simplicity.
