For those of us in the United States, federal law specifies alcohol must be declared as % by volume in all cases: malt beverages, wines, and distilled beverages.  Refer to CFR 27, April 2001, on line.

Except when you get folks like me who go by weight all the time.  So I
weigh both the chocolate and the cream, and I have a perfect recipe <grin>

That said, isn't alcohol percentage always listed /per vol. on beer labels
(at least that's what I thought from the major ones... Granted, I haven't
looked at beer labels in a while)
