    No Casper it is not the same. The alcohol content in a bottle of wine at 12.5% is approx equivalent to 10 units of alcohol.

    the approx units of alcohol in a can of beer at 4.5% is 2 units so X 3 = 6 units

    The egg nog at 15% is far higher than 3 cans of beer at 5%

      OK I'm still not understanding this the beer says 5% alcohol per volume 3 of them would be 15% per volume that's 15% alcohol for 1064 ml the egg nog is 15% alcohol per volume so that's 15% alcohol for 750 ml I subtracted 1064 and 750 and 314 12 Oz is 354 so that tells me that 4 and 1/2 beers at 5% would be more alcohol per volume then the 750ml...

    I could be wrong, but I would say it depends on what quantities are in the bottle and the cans.confused

    Each mouthful of eggnog will have 15% alcohol on it, but every mouthful of beer only 5%, so the beer will less alcoholic

      Math used to be my favorite but it gets frustrating. But I figured it out I drank half the bottle of egg nog and half a bottle of Mexican mud slide so now I don't care about the question I'm just happy that I feel amazing :p

      I guess I'm jealous that alcohol can make anyone "feel amazing".  At my age....all it does to me...is cause me to not take care of myself.  Cause once I think I feel "good"....I keep drinking to not lose the feeling and then I lose everything else around me.

      Be careful....with your consumption....alcohol can be very detremental regardless of the "feel good" effects we get.

      Misssy is 100% right with the warning to be careful about alcohol and feeling amazing, the feel good feeling doesn't last and to get the feeling amazing over time will make you need more and more alcohol along with a host of other problems, including becoming alcohol dependant.
