8% alcohol by volume

An 8% alcohol by volume (ABV) means that in every 100 milliliters of the beverage, 8 milliliters are pure alcohol. This measurement indicates the strength or potency of the drink’s alcohol content. For comparison, typical beers usually range from around 4-6% ABV, while spirits like vodka or whiskey often have about 40% ABV. An 8% ABV drink is moderately strong, offering more alcohol per volume than most beers but less than spirits. It helps you gauge how quickly the alcohol might affect you relative to other beverages.
