Alcohol by volume (ABV) is the amount of ethanol in a drink compared to the entire volume of the drink. Alcohol concentration varies widely by beverage. For example, the alcohol in one 23.5 ounce malt beverage (12% ABV) equals the alcohol in 4.7 beers (5% ABV).*
= * 12 oz beer @ 5% alc/vol = 0.6 oz Ethanol 23.5 oz beer @ 12% alc/vol = 2.82 oz Ethanol 2.82/0.6 = 4.7
