Hard liquor and beer are not pure alcohol. There’s water, other naturally occurring chemicals that give it the taste, etc.

The actual alcohol that is drinkable is ethanol. The Alcohol % basically tells you how much ethanol there is in the actual drink.

EDIT: See u/Ansuz07’s comment on how to get those % values.
