"Hit the bottle" is an idiom that means to drink alcohol, often excessively. It typically implies seeking comfort or escape through drinking, rather than addressing or coping with underlying issues.
A bottle will usually state it's alcohol by volume (ABV) as "proof" . Proof is double what the percentage of alcohol is. So, a bottle of 60 proof spirits would be 30% alcohol by volume. The highest percentage alcohol in a spirit that I've seen is 151 proof, and that was a bottle of rum.
