degree (alcohol or military rank)

Usage Note

Graduación covers three distinct meanings: completing an academic degree (ceremonia de graduación), the alcoholic strength of a drink (graduación alcohólica del vino), and military rank (oficial de alta graduación = high-ranking officer). Context distinguishes them. The verb is graduar (to graduate, to calibrate) and the reflexive graduarse means to graduate from a course of study.
