Sam Adams Utopias is the strongest beer in the world at 25% alcohol by volume (50 Proof US). The strongest possible spirit (distilled alcohol) is 96% alcohol by volume (191.2 Proof US).

Are spirits and liquor the same thing?

Beer is a fermented grain-based beverage with generally 5-10% alcohol content by weight/volume. There are many different types of beer, ranging from full-bodied to light to herbal and fruit-based. Liquor is a distilled fermented beverage with generally 25% or higher alcohol content by weight/volume. There are also many different types of liquor. Additionally, liquors are more commonly used in mixed drinks, where beers are typically consumed without mixing in additional ingredients or flavors.


Hard liquor that is 60 proof equals how much actual ethyl alcohol?

60 percent alcohol = 120 proof. one percent = two proof. Since this question involves 'proof' which is typically used to measure alcohol in distilled liquor, I need to point out some safety warnings. At 120 proof, this is not something to drink 'straight'. That level and the even higher level of alcohol in 'Everclear' (190 proof) can actually 'burn' your skin by leaching water out of the skin cells. It is also flammable, some liquors of this level are used to 'flambe' food dishes.

What is approximately equivalent to one drink of alcohol?

Hard liquor (bourbon, scotch, vodka, gin, etc.) is typically 50% alcohol, wine runs around 20%, beer varies quite a bit, but in the US is generally around 2% alcohol; it's 5% in Canada. The term "proof" gives you twice the actual percentage by volume, i.e., 50% alcohol would be labelled as 100 proof. It is also possible to obtain pure alcohol, as a 200 proof vodka.


Does beer contain ethanol alcohol?
