Abstract
Some of the samples of Ethiopian traditional alcoholic beverages namely ‘tella’, ‘tej’ and
‘areki’ collected from different parts of Addis Ababa were analyzed for their alcohol
contents. The alcohol contents of ‘tella’ and ‘tej’ were analyzed by adopting the method of
determination of ethanol level in beer. The alcohol content of ‘areki’ was determined by
using an alcoholometer. The average ethanol content (%v/v) of the traditional alcoholic
beverage was found to be 6.36, 11.47, and 37.22 for ‘tella’, ‘tej’, and ‘areki’, respectively.
