How much alcohol is in standard vodka?

Answer 1

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.
