The answer varies in each different liquor, and should be listed on the bottle as "proof".

The "Proof" is twice the alcohol percentage, so 40 proof is 20% alcohol, 180 proof is 90% alcohol.

Liquor typically contains 40-50% alcohol by volume (ABV), which equates to 80-100 proof. This means that for every 100 ml of liquor, 40-50 ml is pure alcohol.
