hold up 190 proof is crazy thats basicaly jet fuel; moon shine is 95 to 100% proof right out of the worm ( the twisted copper piped wear the steam gets turned back to a liquid) and then it gets deluted after that because it can kill some one. i repeat 190 proof is crazy.
Correction: 190proof is far to much to DRINK staight.. you will go blind.. however it is often used or distilled to then be filtered to make other spirits such as lemonchello etc. If this is your aim I would suggest buying 140proof grain alcohol which is widely available in specialist booze stores, but not commonly in supermarkets. For drinking though... don't go anywhere above this (its about the same level as overproofed rum or vodka which is pretty hardcore to drink!)

What has more alcohol 150 proof or 80 proof?
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
What is two times the alcohol in a beverage?
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.
What is the mathematical equation of proof?
In the U.S., proof equals twice the percentage of alcohol in the beverage. In the UK, and several European countries, the 'proof' of alcohol is not given, it is stated as a percentage of volume. However this is somewhat misleading. Pure alcohol, which would be 100% alcohol, very difficult to produce, would be classed as 200 proof. Confusing to the uninitiated. All spirit drinks sold retail in the UK must state their alcohol by volume and not their 'proof'.
What has more alcohol -- 150 proof or 80 proof?
'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)
How many shots of ever-clear are equivalent to beer?
assuming you're referring to the 190 proof everclear, one shot of everlcear is equivalent to roughly two beers.
What is the strongest alcoholic you can legally buy in the UK?
Bottles of spirits (Whisky, Vodka) etc - have an alcohol content of 40% by volume.
If 80 proof beverages are 40 percent alcohol what percent alcohol is in a drink that is 20 percent by volume?
20% or 40 proof. All the bottles of alcohol I've ever seen use ABV or alcohol by volume or proof on them. Note: This is based on the US system. In the UK, the ratio of degrees proof is 4:7, not 1:2. The labelling of alcoholic beverages with their ABV percentage is mandated by most governments.

How do you convert tralle measurement to proof?
Multiply by 2 (in the U.S.) or 1.75 (U.K.). Pure alcohol - 100 on the Tralle (sometimes spelled Traille) scale - is 200 proof (US) or 175 proof (UK). The scales all line up at 0.
What does 80 proof indicate?
It means it's 40% alcohol. The proof number is twice the percentage of alcohol. Proof is a system of measuring the alcohol percentage where 200 is 100% alcohol. So 80 proof is 40% pure alcohol by volume.
Why is alcohol content listed as proof?
The term originated in the UK. "Proof spirit" was defined as a spirit or alcohol with a gravity of 12/13 that of water - it got the name because the sailors used to be paid with rum, and they "proved" it had not been watered down by pouring it over gunpowder and testing to see if the gunpowder would still ignite.
