Question Alcohol consumption on Core

I was just wondering approximately how many points drinks are worth on the Core plan.
I've heard that a beer is 2 points. But what about hard liquor, such as brandy, tequila, rums, etc..I'm sure it also depends on what it is mixed with, however, just the alcohol alone would be most helpful.

Help please!

All this applies to the flex plan as well.

As for beer, a regular (not light) beer (can or bottle) is 3 points. A light beer (can or bottle) is 2 points.

For dessert wines, sweet ones at 2 fl oz (1/4 cup I believe) is 2 points. Dry ones at 2 fl oz is 1 point. White or red wine is 2 points per serving (a serving is 5 fl oz).

A "jigger" (1.5 fl oz, about a shot) of any liquor is 2 points. The online tools have examples as brandy, gin, rum, scotch, tequila, vodka, and whiskey but you can assume this with any hard liquor.
