Hard liquor (Bourbon, scotch, vodka, gin, etc.) is typically 50% alcohol, wine runs around 20%, beer varies quite a bit, but in the US is generally around 2% alcohol; it's 5% in Canada. The term "proof" gives you twice the actual percentage by volume, i.e., 50% alcohol would be labelled as 100 proof. It is also possible to obtain pure alcohol, as a 200 proof vodka.
