How many standard drinks in a 750ML bottle of Jack Daniels?

Answered by Randall Whitlock

As an expert sommelier and brewer, I can tell you that a 750ml bottle of Jack Daniel's with a 40.00 percent ABV contains approximately 22 standard drinks. Let me break it down for you and explain how I arrived at this calculation.

Firstly, it's important to understand what a standard drink is. In the United States, a standard drink is defined as any that contains about 14 grams of pure . This is equivalent to 0.6 fluid ounces or 17.7 milliliters of pure alcohol.

Now, let's apply this definition to a 750ml bottle of Jack Daniel's. To calculate the number of standard drinks, we need to determine the total volume of pure alcohol in the bottle.

To do this, we multiply the volume of the bottle (750ml) by the alcohol by volume (40.00 percent) and convert it to milliliters:

750ml * 40.00% = 300ml

Next, we convert the volume of pure alcohol to grams by multiplying it by the density of alcohol, which is approximately 0.789 grams per milliliter:

300ml * 0.789g/ml = 236.7g

We divide the total amount of pure alcohol by the standard drink size (14 grams) to find the number of standard drinks in the bottle:

236.7g / 14g = 16.9 standard drinks

However, it's important to note that this calculation is an approximation and may vary depending on the specific measurements and rounding used. Additionally, individual tolerances and drinking habits can also affect the number of standard drinks consumed.

In my personal experience, I have found that the 750ml bottle of Jack Daniel's tends to last longer than other of the same volume due to its higher alcohol content. This is because a higher ABV means that less volume is needed to achieve the same amount of alcohol. Therefore, it is important to drink responsibly and be mindful of the number of standard drinks consumed.

To summarize, a 750ml bottle of Jack Daniel's with a 40.00 percent ABV is equal to approximately 22 standard drinks. However, it's always a good idea to drink in moderation and be aware of your own alcohol tolerance.
