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?

    I mean sure, but you could say that about any liquid, or even any solid for that matter (with sublimation). But that’s not really what I was talking about when I responded.

        To take your train of thought one step further, think about gasoline. Gasoline has a high vapor pressure, maybe even higher vapor pressure than ethanol. Would you say that gasoline is a liquid at normal conditions?
