Alcohol by volume

Alcohol by volume (ABV) is a standard measure used to quantify the amount of alcohol (ethanol) contained in an alcoholic beverage. It is expressed as a percentage, indicating how much of the total volume of the drink is pure alcohol. For example, a beverage with 10% ABV has 10 milliliters of alcohol in every 100 milliliters of the drink. This measurement helps consumers understand the strength of different alcoholic beverages, guiding them in making informed choices about their consumption. The higher the ABV percentage, the stronger the drink.
