Which alcohol type generally has the highest alcohol content?

Beer
Wine
Spirits
Cocktails

The correct answer is: Spirits

Spirits typically have the highest alcohol content among these options. They are distilled beverages that often contain between 40% to 50% alcohol by volume (ABV), although some may exceed that range. This high concentration arises from the distillation process, which removes water and leaves behind a concentrated form of alcohol. Beer, on the other hand, usually has an alcohol content ranging from about 4% to 6% ABV, while wine typically falls within the 9% to 16% range. Cocktails can vary widely in their alcohol content, depending on their ingredients, but they often incorporate spirits, which raises their overall alcohol level. However, when considering the base types of beverages, spirits stand out for their higher concentration of alcohol.
