To compare the alcohol content of a drink, you must know two things:
1. The alcohol content of the drink (beer and whiskeys vary!)
2. The liquid volume of each drink.
That's logical, right? The more you drink, the stronger the effect...and the stronger the alcohol content
Once you know these things, you multiply the alcohol content by the volume (ounces), to get a final product alcohol amount.
Example: 12 oz. of 6% alcohol beer
1.25 oz. (a normal shot) of 40% (80 proof) whiskey
12 x 6% = .72
1.25 x 40% = .5
So in THIS scenario, the 12 oz. beer puts more alcohol in your blood than the single shot.
However, some beers go as low as 3.5% or up to 8%, and whiskeys can typically go from 35% up to 75% (yikes!). And shot sizes will vary too (depends on the bartender)! So you have to accurately know the alcohol content percentage and the ounces accurately to make an accurate comparison.

Has a pint got more alcohol than whiskey?
If you take an imperial pint as being just over 568ml with around 5% abv and a shot of 25ml with around 35%abv then a pint has approximately 28ml of alcohol in it whereas a shot has approximately 8ml of alcohol in it. A shot of stronger whiskey (40% abv), (or vodka or any other spirit) will have approximately 10ml of alcohol in it So yes, a pint has more alcohol in it than a standard shot of whiskey. Shots get absorbed quicker as they contain less liquid and are drunk faster so you will get drunk quicker from shots
Does beer have as much alcohol as hard liquor?
Not by volume, but one beer is the same as one drink for determining your sobriety. One drink's worth of beer is 12 ounces (one can/bottle), while one drink's worth of liquor is 1.5 ounces (one shot). And some beers are stronger than others, as much as 4 times. Beer also has more calories, thats why models drink vodka, it gets you drunk faster and not fat.

Is a shot equal to a beer?
No. There are several things wrong with this question-first you have to assume what a beer is-a pint of beer? But not everyone has pints. So you've got is a shot equal to a pint? But you don't say in units, in liquid, in enjoyment or what. In units a pint is 2 units. A shot usually has 5-8 units. A shot can vary between 20ml (in the Czech republic) and 100ml (a double, various foreign places). The US measure is 25-35ml for a single, 50ml for a double. The UK measure is 30ml for a small, 44ml for a single, 74ml for a double. A pint is 5.6ml. Some people may enjoy a shot as much as a beer, but most would find a shot easier to drink, and get more drunk from a shot. In predictive slang beer could equal a shot-a 'pint' in predictive slang is a shot.

Was beer served in Gunsmoke?
The finished scenes that make up our favorite TV programs are but a tip of the iceberg. Many scenes are shot numerous times in order to get the one that is perfect according to what the director wants. If the actors drank real alcohol they would be too drunk to finish the day's work. Apple juice makes a great stand-in for beer and whiskey and although the actors may have to take extra trips to the 'outhouse', they are at least able to finish the requested dialog without slurring their words.
A serving of beer or wine contains less alcohol than a serving of whiskey?
One ounce of 80 proof whiskey or other hard liquor, six ounces of wine and 12 ounces of beer have the same effect on you body. The question is how much you drink and how fast you can consume each. If you slam a shot and then have a beer your body only know that you had two drinks it would just take more time is you slowly drank two beers. Also, your body process 1 drink per hour. So drink in moderation.
