Not by volume, but one beer is the same as one drink for determining your sobriety. One drink's worth of beer is 12 ounces (one can/bottle), while one drink's worth of liquor is 1.5 ounces (one shot).
And some beers are stronger than others, as much as 4 times.

Beer and liquor makes you sicker?
Liquor contains far more alcohol per unit of volume than beer. A typical beer is somewhere around 5% alcohol, whereas liquor typically contains over 40%. This means it takes much less liquor to get intoxicated(drunk) vs beer. Liquor also dehydrates the body more because of the higher alcohol content. Beer contains a large amount of water and therefore helps combat this effect.
Why does beer freeze and liquor does not?
Actually, liquor does freeze, only at far lower temperatures than water. That is because alcohol has a much lower freezing point, like the antifreeze we put in car radiators to keep the water from freezing in cold weather. Liquor does freeze but at a lot lower temperature than water, this is due to the alcoholic content. The higher the alcohol content the lower the temperature need to freeze it

Alcohol is a substance found in alcoholic drinks, while liquor is a name for these drinks. So for example one might say "I'm drinking liquor, which contains alcohol." Liquor is a beverage that contains alcohol. Not all alcoholic beverages are liquors though, beer, wine, malt beverages all contain alcohol but are not liquors. To be a liquor the beverage must be distilled from one of the fermented beverages mentioned above. Liquors have a much higher proof rating (200 proof is 100% alcohol, 40 proof is 20% alcohol, 1 proof is a 1/2 %) usually around 40 proof, although Bacardi 151 is famous for being 151 proof (75.5%) and some moonshines are higher even. Also not all alcohol is ethanol (the kind you can drink) isopropyl is a different alcohol (rubbing alcohol) and it is not potable! The exact meaning of liquor has changed over time. Decades ago, liquor often referred to beer and wine in addition to distilled spirits. Hence, the term liquor is somewhat ambiguous.
