Comment on Why is alcohol measured in percentages?

  Which is basically the same since 1g of water is 1ml.

    In water yes, but not in sodas.

      The difference is quite small though right? Since a soda is still largely just water with sugar in it.

        I would guess about 4% heavier with sugar, which is just enough so that a can of Dr. Pepper sinks while a diet can of Dr. Pepper floats. I think I recall the specific gravity of most sugar flavored soda was around 1.04 but I would need to check sources.

      Why? Because it’s slightly heavier with all the sugar in it?

    Of water, yes, but not of sugar.

      Yes but I figured a pretty good approximation. I’m actually curious how much of a difference it would actually make.

        A quick google says you can dissolve up to 2g of sugar in 1g of water, so a pretty big difference apparently
