Calculate Australian standard drinks

Estimated Australian standard drinks1.3Using 10 g pure ethanol per Australian standard drink

EtG context: the conversion improves the alcohol-dose estimate. It does not produce a measured EtG level or guarantee a urine-test result.

What is genuinely country-specific?

  • Australian containers generally display standard-drink information.
  • Restaurant pours and high-strength drinks may contain more than one standard drink.
  • An EtG window still depends on cutoff, time, drinking pattern, and sample concentration.

Official definition

The definition and examples on this page are based on Australian Government Department of Health. Local definitions describe ethanol quantity; laboratory EtG testing policies can still vary by laboratory, program, and test method.

Use the converted result

Enter the converted amount into the EtG urine calculator, calculate exact elapsed time with the EtG timeline tool, and read the EtG test FAQ before interpreting the range.
