Comment on Why is alcohol measured in percentages?

I think alcohol can’t be kept pure in normal conditions, it would turn into a gas. So it is diluted by necessity. Knowing the full volume of the thing is certainly better than knowing only the quantity of alcohol without knowing the degree of dilution.

It is not the only product to be indicated this way. All diluted chemicals are. I think syrup is also?
