Beer by itself probably doesn't have enough alcohol. Beer and some kind of cheap grain liquor ... blech!

Beer has plenty of alcohol in a 12oz container. A common misconception is that beer is not as strong as liquor and by serving, it is.

Standard servings of beer, wine and spirits -- a 12-ounce can of beer, a 5-ounce glass of wine and a cocktail with 1 1/2-ounces of 80-proof spirits -- all contain the same amount of absolute alcohol.

It's the total amount that counts.
