Vodka usually has an alcohol content of 35% to 50% byvolume. The classic Polish, Russian and Lithuanian vodka is 40% (80 proof).
The European Union sets a minimum of 37.5% alcohol by volume.
They sell an 80 proof(40% alcohol) and a 100 proof(50% alcohol).
The percentage of alcohol contained in the product is 50% of the proof. Therefore, 110 proof alcohol is 55% alcohol. NOTE: I can't for the life of me remember what is 110 proof from among salable items one might find in a regular liquor store, so the safety of this proof might be questionable.
Many distilled beverages are 100 rather than 80 proof or are available as both 80 and 100 proof. Smirnoff makes a 100 proof vodka, for example, as well as 80 proof, but so do many other producers.
50% alcohol Proof ÷ 2 = % alcohol
50% alcohol Proof ÷ 2 = % alcohol
Perhaps 100 or 94 proof ( = 50 or 47 percent alcohol) would work better than 80 proof (40 percent alcohol).
The proof is 50 per cent of the alcohol content. 80 proof is 40% alcohol.
Most vodkas are 80 - 100 proof, although in Russia they are distilled to higher proof in some cases. The additional distillation makes them more expensive, and since drinking two shots of 80 is equivalent to 1 shot of 160 proof, most folks are satisfied with that. Besides, the closer to pure alcohol you get, the worse the liquor tastes.80 proof liquor of any kind is 40% alcohol by volume. 100 proof = 50%180 proof = 90%Pure ethyl alcohol, if it were sold for beverages, would be 200 proof.
Alcohol proof is double the actual percentage of alcohol. 100 proof is 50% alcohol, 80 proof is 40%, and 65 proof is 32.5%
50% alcohol.
it depends on the drink you are "shotting".if it is tequila40-50 %vodka: 40-50% (80-100 proof)scotch is usually around 63.5 %typically anything you would take a shot of is in this range , except for grain alcohol , which is around 90%
To find the proof multiply the percentage alcohol by two. To find the percent alcohol, divide by two. i.e.: 50proof=25% 100proof=50% 200proof=100% Seriously, look this stuff up. It's not hard to find.
