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.
Australia drink examples
| Beverage | Serving | Approximate result |
|---|---|---|
| Full-strength beer | 375 mL at 4.8% | About 1.4 Australian standard drinks |
| Red wine | 150 mL at 13.5% | About 1.6 Australian standard drinks |
| Spirits | 30 mL at 40% | About 1 Australian standard drink |
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.
