I feel like it would be useful to know exactly how much alcohol is in a can or a bottle. Also why is alcohol the only thing measured in percentages and not sugar or caffeine or medicine?

    Caffeine is also often measured in “percentages” (amount per volume - not actually percentages as the numbers would be too confusingly small), usually specified as “32 mg/100 ml”.

    Sugar is commonly given as “g of sugar/100g” in the nutrition label. That’s just a different way of saying %.
