A typical drink contains less than 40% alcohol.

Beer is normally under 6%, wine under 15%, and most spirits are no more than 40%

Ethanol is pure alcohol, IE 100%.

Hence if one drinks one pint of ethanol it is equivalent to roughly 20 pints of beer.

20 pints of beer takes a long time to consume, and also contains 19 pints of water.

The pint of ethanol enters your system in a fraction of the time the same amount of ethanol would do if mixed with beer.

It also lacks the 19 pints of water that would be consumed along with the ethanol.

The 19 pints of water would be used to "flush" out some/much of the ethanol as the drinker would no doubt urinate many times during the time taken to consuming 20 pints of beer.

Also consider that the drinker of beer can "stop" part way through, while the drinker of a pint of ethanol can't, as it has all been consumed before it takes effect.
