How much alcohol is in Swedish bitters?

Answer 1

In Swedish bitters, 'punch' is used. The percentuge of ethanol in punch is 40. Averagely, if one drop is ~0.0500 ml, we might think there are 2-4 drops in each one, depending on the size of the candy. Thus, we would receive 0.10 - 0.20 ml of punch / each bitter.

All in all this would give us 0.040 - 0.080 ml of pure alcohol per bitter eaten. Averaging a man's weight to 70 kg's, determining that around 60 % of it is water, 42 kgs would be water, roughly equaling to 42 liters of water.

Using an estimated value of 0.042 ml alchol (around 2 drops of punch in a bitter), an average-sized man would have 0.001 per mil of alcohol in his body. after eating one bitter.
