The person who has consumed the least amount of alcohol is Perry.

How to calculate the amount of alcohol?

The best is to use the percentage provided and calculated using the total ounces or amount of the drink.

Alcohol consumed by Larry:

  • Total liquid: 2 ounces
  • Alcohol percentage: 40%
  • 2 ounces = 100%
  •         x      = 40%
  • 2 x 40 / 100
  • 80/ 100 = 0.8 ounces of alcohol x 2 = 1.6 ounces of alcohol

Alcohol consumed by Cheryl:

  • Total liquid: 5 ounces
  • Alcohol percentage: 12%
  • 5 ounces = 100%
  •         x      = 12%
  • 12 x 5 / 100
  • 60/ 100 = 0.6 ounces of alcohol x 3 = 1.8 ounces of alcohol

Alcohol consumed by Perry:

  • Total liquid: 12 ounces
  • Alcohol percentage: 5%
  • 12 ounces = 100%
  •         x      = 5%
  • 12 x 5 / 100
  • 60/ 100 = 0.6 ounces of alcohol x 2 = 1.2 ounces of alcohol
