Bitters usually do contain an alcohol content, with some ranging as high as 45%. However, it would be pretty hard to get a buzz from bitters because they are usually used in such small amounts to flavor a drink.
Unlike many other bitters, Angostura isn't a citrus blend, but rather contains water, vegetable flavoring extracts, and a bitter root called gentian. It is also 44.7 percent alcohol by volume, and, contrary to belief, doesn't contain Angostura bark. More than 180 years later, little has changed, except for the fact that the House of Angostura is now based on the island of Trinidad and Tobago.
