Answers:
near beer: 2.5% - 3%
regular beer (including light): 4% - 6% (sometimes regulated by local laws)
stout beer: 6% - 10%
white wine: 9% - 11%
red wine: 10% - 14%
Meade/ port wine / sherry: 20%
Conac/brandy: 20% - 30%
Schnappes: 30% - 40%
Vodka, whiskey, bourbon, scotch, regular rum, tequila: 40%
Certain select brands/types of liquors: 50-60%
Bicardi 151: 75%
Everclear: 95%
Ethanol, USP, 200 proof, reagent grade: 100%
.
1 Beer = 1 shot of hard liquior= 1 glass of wine.
Check out the labels, they will have something called "proof" on it, take that number and divide it by 2 and that number is the actual percentage of alcohol in the drink. Most beers and stuff like mikes hard are around 3-4%, whiskeys, vodkas, rums, ect...all range from 20% upwards of 50%. Bicardi 151 is 75.5%, and everclear is 95%. Be careful when getting into the heavy stuff!!
Beer is ususally 6% alcohol, Wine is usually 5-6%, and Vodka is 40%.
So like someone else said, a shot of Vodka is a lot like one beer, maybe even two beers/glasses of wine.
