Which statement is true regarding alcohol levels across various beverages?

Beer has the highest alcohol content
Wine contains more alcohol than liquor
All mentioned beverages have roughly equal alcohol content
Liquor has the least amount of alcohol

The correct answer is: All mentioned beverages have roughly equal alcohol content

Regarding alcohol levels across various beverages, the statement that all mentioned beverages have roughly equal alcohol content is misleading. In reality, the alcohol content varies significantly among beer, wine, and liquor. Typically, beer has an alcohol content ranging from about 4% to 6% by volume, wine generally contains around 9% to 14%, and liquor, or distilled spirits, boasts a much higher percentage, often exceeding 40%. This substantial difference in the alcohol content among the three types of beverages highlights why the other options are more accurate. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for appreciating how alcohol affects the body and for making informed choices about consumption. The significant variance in alcohol by volume among these drinks makes it essential to gauge servings appropriately.
