For more information about Drinking Responsibly, visit www.cheers.org.nz.

Measure Safe - Measuring spirit nips when pouring from a bottle is very important in drinking responsibly. A 30ml spirit nip (40% alc/vol) is the equivalent of one standard drink. Always refer to the alcohol volume percentage on the label. If the alcohol volume varies, it will affect the standard drink measure.
