a) the same.

The amount of ethyl alcohol in a standard drink is approximately the same across these different types of alcoholic beverages. A 12 oz. beer, 5 oz. glass of wine, and a 1.5 oz. shot of 80 proof whiskey each contain roughly the same amount of pure alcohol, which is generally considered to be about 0.6 ounces of pure alcohol.
