How many ounces are in one standard serving of 80-proof liquor?

1 ounce
1.5 ounces
2 ounces
3 ounces

The correct answer is: 1.5 ounces

One standard serving of 80-proof liquor is defined as 1.5 ounces. This measurement is established to help promote responsible alcohol consumption and ensure consistency across different alcoholic beverages. 80-proof liquor means that the beverage contains 40% alcohol by volume (ABV), and in many settings—including bars, restaurants, and educational resources like ServSafe—1.5 ounces has become the standard serving size for spirits. This portion allows individuals to gauge their alcohol intake more effectively and helps establishments manage serving sizes to promote safe drinking practices. Understanding the standard serving size is essential for anyone involved in the sale or service of alcohol, as it aids in preventing over-serving and helps in making informed decisions regarding alcohol consumption.
