It doesn't.
Because of the high concentration of alcohol, 45% at 90 proof, the alcohol acts like an anti-freeze.
90 proof means the alcohol content is 45%, by volume.200 proof = 100%180 proof = 90%and so on.
90 proof = 45 % alcohol. A very strong drink indeed.
Everclear is listed at 180 proof, or 90% alcohol per vol.
45% The percentage of alcohol is always 1/2 of the proof.
well alcohol has a lower freezing temperature than water. Therefore it can go below 0 degrees celsius or 32 Fahrenheit and still be liquid. (Well for harder liquor anyways--not beer, it will freeze) But i think it will still be fine.
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.
The strongest alcoholic drinks can have alcohol content ranging from 40% to over 90%. However, many commercially available strong alcoholic beverages like spirits typically range from 40-50% alcohol by volume (ABV).
In general, whiskeys are at that level. But there are specific brands that dilute to 45%, Skyy 90 vodka comes to mind.
Yes, if the alcohol has a high enough alcohol has around a 90% potency (180 proof), some times way less can also do good, like a 50% (100 proof) can be effective to disaffectent a wound.
45%, or 90 proof 45%, or 90 proof Actually it is 50% alcohol by volume which makes it 100 proof. The Red Labeled bottle is 40% alcohol by volume making it 80 proof
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.
