Which beverage has a standard drink size of 34 mL?

• A. UDL
• B. Vodka Cruiser
• C. Vodka
• D. Scotch Whiskey

Answer: (C)

A standard drink represents about 10 grams of pure alcohol. The amount of liquid that makes up one standard drink depends on how strong the drink is (its ABV). Vodka is a clear spirit with a high ABV, around 40%, so a relatively small volume contains a standard amount of alcohol. Roughly 34 mL of vodka (40% ABV) provides about that 10-gram amount of ethanol, which is why 34 mL is considered a standard drink for vodka. Other options have lower ABV or are mixed drinks, so you'd need more liquid to reach the same 10-gram alcohol amount.
