Therefore, understanding the frequency of drinking, serving sizes and the alcohol by volume (ABV) is more important than deciding which brand to choose. 12 ounces of beer contains about 5% ABV and 5 ounces of wine contains about 12% ABV (gatewayfoundation, 2022). Thus, consuming enough alcohol every night can develop a dependency.
