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?

    Because from a consumer’s point of view, the absolute amount isn’t useful when the serving size and the packaging size isn’t fixed. It is straightforward for a 1.75l bottle of whiskey to be the same % alcohol as the 750ml bottle when the absolute volume of alcohol would be different.
