Which Contains More Alcohol: Beer, Wine, or Hard Liquor?

Explanation

The amount of alcohol in different beverages varies by their alcohol by volume (ABV) and the drink volume.

A 100 proof liquor typically contains more alcohol by volume compared to beer or wine.

A 12 oz. bottle of beer generally has an ABV of about 5%. So, the total alcohol content would be 0.6 oz (5% of 12 oz).

A 4 oz glass of wine typically has an ABV of about 12%. Hence, its total alcohol content would be roughly 0.48 oz (12% of 4 oz)

A 4 oz. of 100 proof liquor, the ABV is 50%. So, its total alcohol content would be 2 oz (50% of 4 oz).

All these values are approximate and alter depending on the specific brand/variety of drink, but generally, 100-proof liquor contains more alcohol per volume than wine or beer.
