¿Disfruta de una bebida alcohólica de vez en cuando? Muchos lo hacemos a menudo cuando socializamos con amigos y familiares. Para quienes beben alcohol, Piénselo antes de beber ofrece información valiosa, basada en estudios. Démosle un vistazo a sus patrones de consumo de alcohol y la forma en que pueden afectar su salud. Piénselo antes de beber puede ayudarlo a empezar.
Los hispanos son el mayor grupo étnico y el de más rápido crecimiento en Estados Unidos, el cual alcanza cerca del 17% de la población, o más de 50 millones de personas. Las investigaciones demuestran que los patrones de consumo de alcohol entre los hispanos son distintos a los patrones de los blancos no hispanos u otros grupos étnicos o raciales. Comprender estas diferencias puede contribuir a que los programas de prevención, intervención y tratamiento presten un mejor servicio a la comunidad hispana.

Many people are surprised to learn what counts as a drink. The amount of liquid in your glass, can, or bottle does not necessarily match up to how much alcohol is actually in your drink. Different types of beer, wine, or malt liquor can have very different amounts of alcohol content. For example, many light beers have almost as much alcohol as regular beer – about 85% as much. Here’s another way to put it:
• Regular beer: 5% alcohol content
• Some light beers: 4.2% alcohol content
That’s why it’s important to know how much alcohol your drink contains. In the United States, one "standard" drink (or one alcoholic drink equivalent) contains roughly 14 grams of pure alcohol, which is found in:
• 12 ounces of regular beer, which is usually about 5% alcohol
• 5 ounces of wine, which is typically about 12% alcohol
• 1.5 ounces of distilled spirits, which is about 40% alcohol
How do you know how much alcohol is in your drink?
Even though they come in different sizes, the drinks below are each examples of one standard drink:
