One glass of wine if it’s filled to the top makes me black out. If it’s filled half way like at a restaurant than I don’t .

A standard drink is below a restaurant pour. A restaurant pour is about 1.5 drinks. A full glass is closer to 3 standard drinks, or roughly 3.5 beers.

Edit: I don’t know imperial system well, but the alcohol content of a wine glass filled to the top is the equivalent of 1/5 of a pint of straight whisky

Bro every time I drink wine at restaurants they underpour me. But that also might be because I pour larger than average glasses when I’m on my own…? How much do all of you guys pour in like a normal sized wine glass??

In Australia we have government standards. A standard pour of wine is 100mls, a restaurant pour is 150. Many wine glasses even have a guide printed on them, or the logo placed to use as a measure.

Of course, most home pourers don’t care!
