I'm gonna have to ask you to show your work.
Hard liquor such as gin, rum, vodka or whiskey are usually bottled somewhere between 80 and 120 proof, or 40 to 60 percent ABV. Can you show me a wine cooler, malt liquor, hard soda or similar product that breaks even 10% ABV? Most beer is somewhere between 3 and 6% ABV.
Just off the top of my head: Four Loko.
Shit is usually between 14% and 25% ABV ever since they took the caffeine out.
And there is even stronger brands I've seen but never tried.
From Wikipedia:
14% seems to be the top end, not the bottom end, and not available everywhere at even that strength.
So in some markets Four Loko does break 10% but comes nowhere near 40%.
Now write me a 5 paragraph MLA formatted essay with at least 4 citations on what "showing your work" means to you.
