No one has called you out on the other obviously false claim here - that a glass of wine has one "drop" of pure alcohol.
In the US, a standard glass of wine is 5 fl oz (about 150mL) and 12% alcohol by volume. A "drop" varies but is going to be about 0.05mL (20 drops per mL).
A glass of wine has the equivalent of about 12% x 150mL = 18mL of pure alcohol. That's roughly 360 drops.
Chemist here. Thank you for fixing that. It has quelled the rage that began to grow.
As a previous student of a chemistry class, I'm shocked you didn't highlight the importance of significant figures.
That's the secret. Real chemists don't really care most of the time
I thought "drop" was a defined amount? Like from a pipet type of drop?
What's the bore size and the surface tension of the liquid?
It was all stupid, I just picked the easiest one because I’m lazy.
