Both are typically 80 proof so they have the same amount of alchohol....unless you buy a flavored vodka....flavors are lower in alchol 60 - 70 proof.

First correct the math.
The 'proof' number is divided by TWO to achieve the Alcohol percentage.
Alcohol is a byproduct(waste, doodoo, etc) of yeast. At approximately 14%(28 proof) the yeast dies in its own excrement. Any 'proof' higher is a liquid that has been 'fortified' by 'distillation'.
This concentrated poison can be used as a solvent, preserv ative, or pesticide. It can also produce a toxic imbalance in people when ingested which some people hate, some like, some love, and some that think they CANNOT do without.
Still remember when science taught by allowing kids to make wine, etc. What we did in physics class would be major felonies today !
Lost way too many brain cells... er- preserved way too many braincells?
Concentrated liquor was the first universal 'cash' in America as it was compact(transportable) and stored well with value EVERYWHERE. Hence the interest in taxing and the whole process of killing to get it... okay math, science, English, and history(civics?) lessons complete.
And to answer your question(finally) it depends solely on it's
proof(or percentage alcohol). AND just because the label states the amount... bear in mind this is regulated by the same government safeguarding us from illegal aliens, cigarettes, and peanut butter(still recovering from long term salmonella exposure- thanks Wally World). Of course as there are serious dollars involved... there was greater policing AND greater potential profits(see ATF, IRS, bootlegging, prohibition(TWO whole amendments to the constitution over booze!), distillation, homebrewing, bribes, ethics, biology).
In the US of A an adult individual(21 years) can legally produce a small amount of non-fortified beer or wine.

Look on each bottle and it should say the "proof". Divide that number by 1/2 and that is the alcohol contect. I think most vodkas and tequilas are 80 proof so they might be the same.

Tequila is about 80 proof, but Vodka can be 100 proof so I would say Vodka

Vodka usually has to be diluted to hit a standard proof number. I think it starts stronger and then can be cut to match the proof of tequila (usually 80)..

100% Blue Agave Tequila has purer and stronger alcohol content because it is naturally fermented and aged for a minimum of 5 years

The alcohol content can vary from brand to brand in both cases. Just check the bottle labels for proof % to see which is higher.

Both will usually be 80proof (40% alc. vol.) although some brands will vary the alcohol content. All labels have in front the proof and or alc. vol. so just look there to find out...

Depends on the "proof". Take the proof and divide in half and that is the parentage of alcohol
