the proof is used to tell you how much alcohol is in it. 100 proof is about 50% alcohol so jsut divide the proof by 2 the higer the proof the more alcohol
48 proof means 24 % alcohol. Sounds like maybe a high alcohol wine or cough medicine.
30% of however much you drank... e.g. You drank a 50ml shot of 60 proof = 15ml of 'pure' 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.
The answer varies in each different liquor, and should be listed on the bottle as "proof". The "Proof" is twice the alcohol percentage, so 40 proof is 20% alcohol, 180 proof is 90% alcohol.
It's a 100 proof alcohol, and 50% alcohol content.
20% or 40 proof. All the bottles of alcohol I've ever seen use ABV or alcohol by volume or proof on them. Note: This is based on the US system. In the UK, the ratio of degrees proof is 4:7, not 1:2. The labelling of alcoholic beverages with their ABV percentage is mandated by most governments.
Depends on where you go - it generally goes by ABV or "proof". ABV is pretty much understood everywhere since it gives a general measure of how much alcohol is in the beverage by volume. e.g. a pint of beer in the US at 5% ABV will yield about 0.6 US fluid ounces of alcohol.
20% of alcohol am allowed
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.
the higher the proof the stronger - more alcohol - there is. In the UK 70 dgree proof was the standard strength of whiskey - 40% alcohol. 100 proof is 57.1% alcohol. 175 proof is 100% alcohol. In the USA it is different. 100 proof would be 50% alcohol, 70 proof would be 35% alcohol. 200proof would be 100% alcohol. ie double
proof is double the alcohol percentage. 40% alcohol= 80 proof
