  2. Standard drink - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_drink

    There is no international consensus on how much pure alcohol is contained in a standard drink; [2] values in different countries range from 8 to 20 grams (0.28 to 0.71 ounces). The example questionnaire form for the World Health Organization's Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) uses 10 g (0.35 oz), [ 3 ] and this definition has ...

  3. Fluid ounce - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_ounce

    The US fluid ounce is based on the US gallon, which in turn is based on the wine gallon of 231 cubic inches that was used in the United Kingdom prior to 1824. With the adoption of the international inch, the US fluid ounce became 1⁄128 gal × 231 in 3 /gal × (2.54 cm/in) 3 = 29.5735295625 mL exactly, or about 4% larger than the imperial unit.

  4. Density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density

    The Imperial gallon was based on the concept that an Imperial fluid ounce of water would have a mass of one Avoirdupois ounce, and indeed 1 g/cm 3 ≈ 1.00224129 ounces per Imperial fluid ounce = 10.0224129 pounds per Imperial gallon. The density of precious metals could conceivably be based on Troy ounces and pounds, a possible cause of confusion.

    [40] [41] The bomb found in England contained 400 grams (14 oz) of PETN, and the one found in Dubai contained 300 grams (11 oz) of PETN. [41] Hans Michels, professor of safety engineering at University College London , told a newspaper that 6 grams (0.21 oz) of PETN—"around 50 times less than was used—would be enough to blast a hole in a ...

  8. Sugar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugar

    For added sugars, the guidance is that 100% DV should not be exceeded. 100% DV is defined as 50 grams. For a person consuming 2000 calories a day, 50 grams is equal to 200 calories and thus 10% of total calories—the same guidance as the WHO. [149] To put this in context, most 12-US-fluid-ounce (355 ml) cans of soda contain 39 grams of sugar.
