Is Alcohol Proof The Same As ABV? | Britannica

Bourbon vs…Light beer Choose your poison??? So let’s break it down. Busch Lite is 4.1% abv, 12oz, 95 calories 100 proof bourbon is 50% abv, 1.5oz, 120 calories. So for 3 bourbons you get about the same total alcohol as 5 lite beers. (2.25oz vs. 2.46oz) But you’re ingesting 115 more calories and 16 more carbs.
