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?

I don’t know, but sugar is usually in “g / 100g” so technically in percentage
In beverages, it’s g/100ml.
Which is basically the same since 1g of water is 1ml.
In water yes, but not in sodas.
The difference is quite small though right? Since a soda is still largely just water with sugar in it.
I would guess about 4% heavier with sugar, which is just enough so that a can of Dr. Pepper sinks while a diet can of Dr. Pepper floats. I think I recall the specific gravity of most sugar flavored soda was around 1.04 but I would need to check sources.
Found a link that confirms it for coke. More specifically 1.042g/ml
Why? Because it’s slightly heavier with all the sugar in it?
