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.
To calculate the proof number of the solution, you need to know the percentage of alcohol in the ethyl alcohol used. If the ethyl alcohol is 95% alcohol by volume, you would calculate the proof number using the formula: proof = 2 * (% alcohol by volume). For example, if the ethyl alcohol is 95% alcohol by volume, the proof number would be 190.
