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.
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
60 proof alcohol is 30% pure alcohol. So if you are drinking a 60 proof alcohol, you are consuming 30% of pure alcohol content in that beverage.
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.
Alcohol proof is double the actual percentage of alcohol. 100 proof is 50% alcohol, 80 proof is 40%, and 65 proof is 32.5%
'Proof' is a unit of measurement equal to 1 half of 1 percent. Therefore, 150 proof is 75% Alcohol by Volume (although at this point, you're more likely drinking moonshine or grain alcohol and not whiskey)
Alcohol is measured in proof. 100% proof whiskey is 50% alcohol. Everclear is 95% alcohol.
