Understanding how much alcohol you\u2019re drinking or planning to drink helps reduce your risk of harm<\/a>.<\/p>

In Canada, a standard drink is defined as 17.05 millilitres (mL) or 13.45 grams of pure ethanol, the psychoactive ingredient in alcohol.<\/p>

Alcohol by volume percentage (% ABV) measures the strength of alcoholic drinks based on the pure ethanol contained within them. For example, 5% ABV means 5% of the drink is pure ethanol.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/section>
