A standard 5-ounce serving of wine contains about 12% alcohol by volume, equivalent to 1.5 ounces of distilled spirits or 12 ounces of beer. This means a 750ml bottle of wine contains about five 5-ounce servings or five drinks. Consuming more than recommended alcohol can have negative health consequences, including an increased risk of high blood pressure, liver disease, certain cancers, and mental health issues. Excessive alcohol consumption can also lead to alcohol dependence and addiction. Additionally, it’s important to note that specific populations should avoid alcohol, including pregnant women, individuals with certain medical conditions or medications that interact with alcohol, and individuals with a history of alcoholism or addiction.
