One of my big drinking epiphanies is a US pint of Brooklyn Defender or Ithaca Flower Power IPA is approximately 2 standard drinks.

4 beers in this scenario equals half a fifth of normal 80 proof whiskey like Jack Daniels.

A "couple of beers and a shot" becomes equal to an entire bottle of wine.

Two beers with a long pour (friendly bartender) of tequila or Jameson on the rocks is again, nearly half a bottle of whiskey.

Etc. IPAs are deceptive when you're just trying to "have a couple of beers at the pub down the street after work."
