I feel like it would be useful to know exactly how much alcohol is in a can or a bottle. Also why is alcohol the only thing measured in percentages and not sugar or caffeine or medicine?

    Since krellor answered the main question:

    • By volume: multiply ABV by the volume of the drink.
    • By weight: do the maths above, and then multiply the result by 0.789 g/ml.

    RL example: the beer in my fridge is 350ml, 4.7% ABV. Doing the maths this is roughly 16.5ml of alcohol, or 13.0g.
