60 percent alcohol = 120 proof. one percent = two proof. Since this question involves 'proof' which is typically used to measure alcohol in distilled liquor, I need to point out some safety warnings. At 120 proof, this is not something to drink 'straight'. That level and the even higher level of alcohol in 'Everclear' (190 proof) can actually 'burn' your skin by leaching water out of the skin cells. It is also flammable, some liquors of this level are used to 'flambe' food dishes.
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
Typically alcohol is allowed in checked baggage as long as it is below a certain proof. I believe anything over 120 proof is not allowed.
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.
It's a 100 proof alcohol, and 50% alcohol content.
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.
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
50% alcohol Proof ÷ 2 = % alcohol
151/2 = 75.5% try not to drink too much, as this contains nearly twice as much alcohol per shot as vodka and more than twice that of most rums.
