CONVERSION QUOTIENTS

Given a value in ABW (alcohol by weight) you can convert it easily to ABV using the following formula:

: ABV = 1.25 × ABW

or, inversely:

: ABW = 0.8 × ABV

These quotients are a fair approximation to the real values; since the ingredients change from beverage to beverage, it is impossible to have a universal formula, as the Density of the beverage minus alcohol varies. The above explained value works best for beers, for example.
