What is “one standard drink”? I thought this was super interesting
As most college students do not measure a standard drink (i.e. red solo cup), they tend to not measure the amount of alcohol in a cupful. It is important to remember that ‘1 drink’ is not one cupful—-it is how much alcohol is actually in what you are drinking. Knowing how to count a standard drink is necessary for understanding how much alcohol is in your body and to correctly calculate the BAC or blood alcohol concentration.
Beer
One drink = one 12-ounce beer or the second line from the top of a red solo cup. This is normal-strength beer (4% alcohol). Micro-brews and malt liquor have a higher percentage of alcohol (check the label).
Wine
One drink = 5 ounces of standard wine or the second line from the bottom of a red solo cup. This is most table wines: white, red.
Liquor
One drink = 1.5 ounces of liquor (40% alcohol or 80 proof) or the bottom line of a red solo cup. This is how much whiskey, vodka, gin, etc. is in a measured mixed drink or in a standard-size shot glass. Remember that mixed drinks may not be measured and often contain far more than 1.5 ounces of alcohol. Drinks with a higher proof (like grain alcohol, Everclear, or 151 proof rum) should be treated with caution.
Jungle Juice
One drink = ??? Jungle juice is a combination of various liquors (i.e. everclear, vodka) fruit juice, and may or may not contain chunks of liquor soaked fruit. The concoction consists of upwards of 20% alcohol, though this is not a confirmed measurement. Generally, the assumption is that one cupful is equal to 5 or 6 shots is equal to 5 or 6 drinks. This can be a dangerous mixture to ingest as each mixture varies depending on the ingredients.

Perfect for the moment
There are certain people you just keep coming back to
She is right in front of you
You begin to wonder could you find a better one
Compared to her now she’s in question
Looking for the right one you line up the world to find
Where no questions cross your mind
But she won’t keep on waiting for you without a doubt
Much longer for you to sort it out
