The alcoholic strength of a beverage, specifically Coors Light beer, is measured by its alcohol by volume (ABV). This figure indicates the proportion of the total volume that is pure alcohol, expressed as a percentage. For example, a beer with 4% ABV contains 4% alcohol and 96% other liquids.
Knowing the alcoholic content is crucial for responsible consumption and adhering to legal regulations regarding alcohol purchase and consumption. This information also allows consumers to make informed choices based on their preferences and desired effects. The consistent ABV provides a predictable experience for the consumer.
