Alcohol Proof
We know that a shot of beer produces fewer effects on us. Whereas, a shot of whiskey causes less effect on us. This happens because the amount of whiskey in alcohol is more than that in the beer.
Scientifically, whiskey has more ethanol. It is the molecule that is responsible for the effect of alcohol in comparison to beer.
