The easiest way is to look on the bottle and take the manufacturer's word for it.

However, it's possible to test it if you're so inclined (and have a sufficiently equipped laboratory). The easiest way would be GC/MS, which on a modern instrument will tell you which peak contains the ethanol and how much of it there was. If you know the amount of liquor introduced into the system, then you can just divide the amount of ethanol by the total sample size and multiply by 100 to get the percentage.

If you don't have a GC/MS sitting around idle (they're not expensive by lab standards, but extremely pricey by household standards ... a few thousand dollars for a cheap used one), then you're into quantitative organic chemistry, and may God have mercy on your soul.

BAC stands for Blood Alcohol Concentration. It is a measurement of the amount of alcohol in a person's blood, typically expressed as a percentage. It is used to determine the level of intoxication or impairment due to alcohol consumption.


What is the link between percentage by volume and units of alcohol?

Percentage by volume (ABV) represents the amount of alcohol present in a beverage compared to the total volume. Units of alcohol are a measure used to quantify the amount of pure alcohol consumed. To calculate units of alcohol, you multiply the volume of the drink in ml by the ABV percentage and divide by 1000. This gives you the amount of pure alcohol in the drink, measured in units.
