alcohol content
Beverage intoxication measure
Alcohol content is the percentage of alcohol in a beverage, expressed either by volume (ABV) or by weight.
Beer typically runs 4–6%, wine 12–15%, and spirits 40% or higher.
Labels display alcohol content to help consumers gauge potency: Check the alcohol content before you pour yourself a full glass.
