How do you calculate liquor proofs from the percentage on the bottle?
Double the percent alcohol. 40% alc is 80 proof. 200 proof is pure alc.
What is 86 proof alcohol?
The "Proof" of an alcoholic beverage is an indicator of it's alcohol content on a 200 point scale. Take the Proof # and divide it by 2 to find out what the percentage is. So, to answer you specific question, 86/2= 43. Therefore 86 proof alcohol is 43 percent alcohol.

What is the mathematical equation of proof?
In the U.S., proof equals twice the percentage of alcohol in the beverage. In the UK, and several European countries, the 'proof' of alcohol is not given, it is stated as a percentage of volume. However this is somewhat misleading. Pure alcohol, which would be 100% alcohol, very difficult to produce, would be classed as 200 proof. Confusing to the uninitiated. All spirit drinks sold retail in the UK must state their alcohol by volume and not their 'proof'.
