What is "proof" in a bottle of hard alchohol?
Answers:
Alcohol proof is the amount of ethanol (what gets you drunk) in the liquor. It is about twice the percentage of alcohol by volume. So if a bottle is 80 proof than it is 40% alcohol.
how strong the liquor is. the proof is double the alcohol content so technically you can get up to 200 proof which is 100%. (but you cant buy that stuff)
this applies to in the US
that lady knows her spirits.
it is the amount of pure alcohol in a bottle shown as a percentage, the correct formula is divide by seven and multiply by four.. so 40%proof is just under 23% ethanol or pure alcohol. 50% proof vodka would be 28.6% pure alcohol.
that explains it.
It's the percentage of alcohol in the bottle.
Proof refers to the alcohol content. If a bottle says 80 proof, then it is 40% alcohol by volume. Always divide the proof by 2 to get the percentage.
Alcohol proof is the amount of alcohol in the liquor or liqueur. It is twice the percentage of alcohol by volume.
Example: 80-proof means 40 % alcohol by volume, 100-proof is 50 %, 151-proof is 75.5 %, etc.
