Because the concentration of alcohol is lower; you pay the alcohol not the water.
Usually bulk buying is cheaper
More than what The final alcohol content would be somewhere between 40% and 7% alcohol by volume depending on how much of each you have. To answer the question, the resulting solution would be less alcoholic than the 40% and more alcoholic than the 7%.
It is usually a mixture of alcohol and water in which 40%, by volume is alcohol.
well it depends on what proof that the liquor is if it is 80 proof then it will have 40 percent alcohol and soforth but most liqiour is 40 to 45 percent alcohol
40%
Perhaps 100 or 94 proof ( = 50 or 47 percent alcohol) would work better than 80 proof (40 percent alcohol).
Proof is always double the actual alcohol content of a given product. A seventy proof vodka would contain 35% of pure (100%) ethanol.
40% alcohol is 80 proof and about the average proof of many hard liquors.
99% is pretty close to 100%, so the mix would be 40% alcohol and 60% ginger ale.
