Question: abv how does it work?
Answer: The ABV will tell you how many ounces of actual alcohol are in the beverage. For example, if a 12-ounce bottle of beer is 5.0 percent alcohol, that means that the bottle has 0.6 ounces of pure alcohol. The equation looks like this: Ounces x decimal percentage alcohol = ounces of alcohol in the bottle or drink.
