In general, beer has the lowest proof or percentage of alcohol per quantity of beverage. However, non-alcoholic beer contains up to one-half of one percent alcohol by volume.
Standard drinks of alcohol in the US all contain about .6 ounce of alcohol. A standard drink is:
It depends entirely on how much liquor the bartender puts in it.

Alcohol by Volume.
This labelling is due to current UK licensing laws. Although the label states 'alcohol-free', it does actually contain alcohol at 0.05% ABV. The definition under UK legislation for alcohol-free beers is 'not more than 0.05% ABV', whereas within the EU it is 'not more than 0.5% ABV'.
It signifies the "strength" of the liquor, and can give you an estimate of how much alcohol is in the drink by percentage. For example, if you have a 1.5oz of a 40% ABV spirit, 0.6oz is pure alcohol.
This is variable. It depends on a number of factors which include: • How often you drink • If you have eaten • Your size • Your weight The list is endless; there is no specific time, sorry. Also there isn't really such thing as a standard drink; what's standard to you could be someone else's mouth-wash.
Alcohol by volume.
4.4% alcohol by volume (ABV)
Beer is around 3.5 to 5 percent alcohol by volume (ABV). Wine is around 12-15% ABV. Spirits (whisky etc) are closer to 40% ABV.
This largely depends on where you are. In the united states, "lite" beer usually refers to a low carbohydrate beer with an ABV (alcohol by volume) of around about 4.2%, compared to a standard heavy beer of around 5.0% ABV. The reduction in alcohol content is an incidental result of brewing a beer with less carbohydrates. In other places, light beer usually means a beer specifically brewed to be low alcohol, and these usually are about 2.5% ABV, about half the strength of a full strength beer.

The highest alcohol by volume (ABV) level attainable by distillation is 96.5% and this is the level of some spirits available; most intended for drinking are used to home-make liqueurs.
