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?

    Australia does this right. Everything has a percentage.

    Nutritional panels have:

    • Serving size
    • Servings in the pack
    • Energy, sugar, fat salt. etc per 100ml or 100g, and per serving.

    Alcoholic beverages have “standard drinks” per bottle which factors in ABV and volume.

    I can quickly see that a drink has 9g sugar per 100ml and know it’s 9% sugar. Easy.
