Half a liter is ⅔ of a standard bottle of wine. Even if it is only 11% ABV, this still equates to 55 ml of ethanol. An average 14 year old male weighs 112 lbs, about 70% of an adult’s size.

So if we extrapolate linearly, 55 ml of ethanol would be equivalent to 78 ml of ethanol for an adult, which is 6.5 shots, assuming a 1 oz shot

Everything you're saying is true, but the wine was watered down. I grew up in (Eastern) Europe and I used to have a glass of wine with my parents at dinner time when I reached my teens pretty much every time they did (we had a small vineyard, like most people, and wine was plentiful). However, I was mixing it with mineral water (50-50) and with a heavy meal, I never got drunk from that.

Yeah, but the wine was supposedly watered down for the children too. And that would be the maximum limit too.
