                                The vast majority of standard bottled hard liquors are sold at or around 40% alcohol by volume (ABV), which is equivalent to 80 proof. This percentage, however, can vary significantly depending on the type of spirit, its country of origin, and whether it is a specialty or cask-strength bottling.
