48 proof means 24 % alcohol. Sounds like maybe a high alcohol wine or cough medicine.
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
30% of however much you drank... e.g. You drank a 50ml shot of 60 proof = 15ml of 'pure' alcohol
Proof is a measure of the alcohol content in a beverage, with the proof value being twice the percentage of alcohol by volume (ABV). Therefore, a drink that is 20 proof contains 10% alcohol by volume. This means that in a 100 ml serving, there are 10 ml of pure alcohol.
It's a 100 proof alcohol, and 50% alcohol content.
A 50 proof bottle contains 25% alcohol by volume (ABV). The proof system is calculated as double the percentage of alcohol; therefore, a 50 proof indicates that half of the liquid is alcohol. For example, if you have a 750 ml bottle, it would contain approximately 187.5 ml of pure alcohol.
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
120 proof alcohol is 60% alcohol by volume (ABV). The proof system measures the strength of alcoholic beverages, with the proof value being double the ABV percentage. Therefore, if a beverage is labeled as 120 proof, it contains a relatively high concentration of alcohol, making it significantly stronger than standard spirits, which are typically around 40 proof (20% ABV).
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.
