We understand there is likely confusion around child vaccination recommendations. Oregon’s recommendations remain in place, aligned with the American Academy of Pediatrics.

While the CDC revised and significantly reduced the number of vaccinations routinely recommended for all U.S. children on January 5, we continue to recommend families keep kids up to date on vaccines and talk to their health care provider for any questions they may have.

A standard drink is a way of making sure that when we talk about having a beer or a glass of wine or a shot, we're talking about the same amount of alcohol. ABV means alcohol by volume. The percentages shown are average ABV for those types of drinks. Certain beverages have higher ABVs or are served in bigger containers, which means one serving of them would count as more than one drink.
What products have you noticed out there that are more than one standard drink?
