To determine which drink contains the most alcohol, we need to consider both the volume of each drink and the typical alcohol by volume (ABV) percentages for each type:

1. Beer:
- Volume: 12 ounces
- Typical ABV: ~5% (can vary, but 5% is a common average)
- Alcohol content: [tex]\( 12 \text{ ounces} \times 0.05 = 0.6 \text{ ounces} \)[/tex] of pure alcohol

2. Wine:
- Volume: 5 ounces
- Typical ABV: ~12% (can vary, but 12% is a common average for table wine)
- Alcohol content: [tex]\( 5 \text{ ounces} \times 0.12 = 0.6 \text{ ounces} \)[/tex] of pure alcohol

3. Rum:
- Volume: [tex]\( 1\frac{1}{2} \)[/tex] (1.5) ounces
- Typical ABV: ~40% (varies, but 40% is standard for most spirits)
- Alcohol content: [tex]\( 1.5 \text{ ounces} \times 0.4 = 0.6 \text{ ounces} \)[/tex] of pure alcohol

Now, compare the alcohol content of each drink:
- Beer: 0.6 ounces of pure alcohol
- Wine: 0.6 ounces of pure alcohol
- Rum: 0.6 ounces of pure alcohol

All of these drinks contain the same amount of alcohol, which is 0.6 ounces of pure alcohol.

Therefore, the correct answer is:
All of these drinks contain the same amount of alcohol.
