Couple of problems:

-- You don't say how many ounces are in one of the "beers". So we'll have to come up

with some kind of answer that doesn't need that figure.

-- You also don't say in what respect the "beers" are to be equal to the whiskey.

We're going out on a limb and assuming you're asking about their respective

alcohol contents.

"80 prof" means 40% by volume.

So you're really asking for the volume of beer in which 3.5% of the volume is equal to 40% of one ounce.

0.035 V = 0.4

V = 0.4 / 0.035 = 11.4286 ounces.

We don't know a whole lot about beers, but we suspect they may be available in 12-ounce cans.

If so, the calculation above seems to suggest that the alcohol contents in a beer and a bump

are roughly equal. Who would have guessed it!
