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.

Double the percent alcohol. 40% alc is 80 proof. 200 proof is pure alc.

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'.
