Description

While the index of refraction of beer depends on its alcohol and sugar contents, beer contains 90%-95% water, so the index of refraction can in most cases be assumed to be close to that of water.

These reference values are based on the most accurate data available at the time and are continually updated as new measurements become available. Depending on the material and the property you're after, there's more or less variability to take into account. Use these values as a starting point, or as validation for existing materials, and then tweak further using your artistic freedom.
