"Pure alcohol is 200 proof." Not generally true. You would think so, except that practical issues with distilling mean that the product known as "pure grain alcohol" is 190 proof (5% water cannot be distilled out of the product) in many states, and in some states, for legal reasons, "PGA" is actually 151 proof because higher proof is not legal to sell. It is difficult to maintain alcohol at 200 proof because, when exposed to air, it self-dilutes to a lower proof.

There is a lot of alcohol in a keg of beer. If it is a ½ barrel it will have 15.5 gallons of beer of which about 3 quarts, is pure alcohol. That is equal to 60 shots in 1 ½ oz glasses, of 200 proof pure grain alcohol.
