According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), a standard drink contains approximately 14 grams (0.6 ounces) of pure alcohol. For distilled spirits like rum, this is most commonly measured as 1.5 fluid ounces, though what is considered a serving of rum can vary significantly depending on the serving method, location, and the spirit's alcohol by volume (ABV).
