It varies widely. The average is 40% though.
"80 proof" indicates that a distilled spirit contains 40% alcohol by volume (ABV). The proof system is typically used in the United States, where the proof value is double the percentage of alcohol. Therefore, a spirit labeled as 80 proof has a moderate alcohol content, making it a common strength for many liquors. In this case, "40 alcohol" refers to the same 40% ABV.
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). At this point, it matters little if it is distilled from corn, wheat, or rice; it is all considered grain alcohol.
An instrument that measures alcohol volume is called a hydrometer. It assesses the specific gravity of a liquid, which can be used to calculate the alcohol by volume (ABV) in beverages. Another common device is the alcohol meter, specifically designed for measuring the alcohol content in distilled spirits. Both instruments are essential in brewing and distillation processes.
In Texas it is more than one-half of one percent of alcohol by volume
I believe 5 percent by volume
You did not state what kind of Budweiser. Most American beers contain between 3.2 and 6% alcohol by volume.
Gin and vodka are both distilled spirits from grain or vegetable sources (not grapes) with the only difference being that gin has added flavor from the juniper berry. Brandy is distilled from wine, coming ultimately from grapes.
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.
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.
Each standard size alcoholic drink typically contains around 14 grams of pure alcohol, regardless of the type of beverage. This amount is equivalent to 1.5 ounces of distilled spirits (40% alcohol by volume), 5 ounces of wine (12% alcohol by volume), or 12 ounces of beer (5% alcohol by volume).
The AMOUNT of alcohol in the standard beer and wine is the same. The percentage of the volume is different. See the chart below.

Distilled water is measuared with its volume in litre or mililitrte.
