In the context of whiskey, "42 percent vv" refers to the alcohol by volume (ABV) percentage of the whiskey. ABV represents the amount of alcohol present in the total volume of the liquid. Therefore, a whiskey labeled as "42 percent vv" contains 42% alcohol by volume, meaning that 42% of the liquid is pure alcohol. This percentage is important for understanding the strength and potency of the whiskey.
In the context of alcohol, a standard unit is typically defined as 10 milliliters (or 8 grams) of pure alcohol. The number of units in spirits can vary depending on the alcohol by volume (ABV) percentage and the serving size. For example, a single shot (25ml) of a spirit with 40% ABV contains 1 unit of alcohol. To calculate the units, you can use the formula: (ABV% × volume in ml) ÷ 1000.
Typically spirits are 35% abv, so 30 ml * 0.35 = 10.5 ml Beer @ 5% abv, so , 100 * 0.05 = 5 ml So, no it contains roughly twice as much.

The most recent "world'sr strongest beer" from each brewery have been Brewdog's Sink the Bismark! at 41% ABV, which was topped shortly thereafter by Schorschbrau's Schorschbock 43% (at 43% ABV). It's worth noting that these beers are now in an ABV range HIGHER THAN FULL PROOF LIQUOR (40%).
