Whiskey definitely is made up of a larger percentage of alcohol that wine. Most hard liquor is at least 40% alcohol by volume, while wine is about 10% to 15% by volume. An 8 oz glass of wine would be about an ounce of alcohol, but an 8 oz glass of whiskey would be 3.2 oz of alcohol. This is why hard liquors are usually mixed with something else.

Has a pint got more alcohol than whiskey?

If you take an imperial pint as being just over 568ml with around 5% abv and a shot of 25ml with around 35%abv then a pint has approximately 28ml of alcohol in it whereas a shot has approximately 8ml of alcohol in it. A shot of stronger whiskey (40% abv), (or vodka or any other spirit) will have approximately 10ml of alcohol in it So yes, a pint has more alcohol in it than a standard shot of whiskey. Shots get absorbed quicker as they contain less liquid and are drunk faster so you will get drunk quicker from shots
