Answer :

Let's break down the problem to find the number of servings of alcohol consumed.

1. Determine the total volume of beer consumed:
- You drink three glasses.
- Each glass has a volume of 12 fluid ounces (fl oz).
- Total volume of beer = Number of glasses * Volume per glass
[tex]\[ \text{Total volume of beer} = 3 \text{ glasses} \times 12 \text{ fl oz/glass} = 36 \text{ fl oz} \][/tex]

2. Find the total volume of alcohol consumed:
- The Alcohol by Volume (ABV) is 10%, which means 10% of the beer is pure alcohol.
- Total volume of alcohol = Total volume of beer * (ABV / 100)
[tex]\[ \text{Total volume of alcohol} = 36 \text{ fl oz} \times 0.10 = 3.6 \text{ fl oz} \][/tex]

3. Calculate the number of servings of alcohol:
- A standard serving size of alcohol is considered to be 0.6 fluid ounces.
- Number of servings of alcohol = Total volume of alcohol / Serving size
[tex]\[ \text{Number of servings of alcohol} = \frac{3.6 \text{ fl oz}}{0.6 \text{ fl oz/serving}} = 6 \text{ servings} \][/tex]

So, if you drink three 12 fl oz glasses of beer with an ABV of 10%, you have consumed six servings of alcohol.

The correct answer is:
Six servings of alcohol.
