Is three pints of beer at 4 percent the same as one bottle of wine at 12 percent?

To compare the alcohol content, we need to look at the alcohol by volume (ABV). Three pints of beer at 4% ABV contain about 1.2 liters of beer, which translates to approximately 0.48 liters of pure alcohol. A standard bottle of wine (750 ml) at 12% ABV contains about 0.09 liters of pure alcohol. Thus, three pints of beer have significantly more alcohol than one bottle of wine.
