∙ 12y agoIt doesn't contain more alcohol. It's true that wines have between 12-18% alcohol content depending on whether they are naturally fermented or fortified. Beers have around 6% alcohol.
However a standard serving of the lower proof beer (12 oz.) contains the same amount of absolute or pure alcohol (.6 oz.) as a standard serving of the the higher proof but lower quantity (5 oz.) of wine.
Don't be fooled. Saying that you only had two beers is the same as saying that yoiu only had two glasses of wine. They're both the same to a breathalyzer.

∙ 11y agoThe darkness of a beer is NOT an indication of alcohol content. The darkness is caused by burnt sugars (caramel) not the alcohol content. Dark and light beers can be made with low or high alcohol contents as the brewer desires.
Many people misunderstand the term "light beer" (used commonly in Australia and some other countries) to refer to the colour. It is actually a colloquial reference to the amount of alcohol. E.g. "Do you have any light beer?" means "Do you have any beer with lower alcohol content?" Usually less than 1 "standard drink" per 357mL bottle.

Is a 12 oz beer the same as a 1 oz shot?
As a general rule of thumb, yes. Although there are several factors that could change this answer. The alcohol content of the liquor you are using (80 proof, 90 proof, etc...) and the alcohol content of the beer you are comparing it to. Beer can range anywhere from 4% ABV to 15-16% ABV for most mainstream beers. There are however many beers that rise above event the 15-16% mark, I believe the beer with the highest ABV is currently around the 40% mark.
