Is it written down anywhere how much alcohol needs to be in something
before it's "an alcoholic beverage"?
ISTR it used to be 2%.
You are confusing percentage (of alcohol by volume) with degrees
proof. 100deg proof = ~57 % abv ('Merkan measure is different).
Am I? I just remember cans of Shandy Bass in the late 60s with the warning
"contains no more than 2% alcohol"
I remember cans of shandy and some ginger beer as showing "not more
than 2° proof".
