Which holds the same amount of alcohol as a 12-ounce beer?

The rule

Twelve ounces of beer, a shot of liquor and a five-ounce glass of wine hold the same amount of alcohol.

A 12-ounce beer, one shot of liquor and a 5-ounce glass of wine all have the same amount of alcohol.

From the Virginia Driver's Manual, section 3, page 24. This question is our own wording of that rule. The handbook and the DMV have the final word.
