Alcohol is typically measured in terms of alcohol by volume (ABV), which represents the percentage of alcohol in a beverage relative to the total volume. For example, a beverage with 12% ABV contains 12% pure alcohol and 88% other components. Another common measurement is proof, which is twice the ABV percentage; thus, a drink with 40% ABV is 80 proof. These measurements help consumers understand the strength of Alcoholic Beverages and make informed choices about consumption.
