What is Percent Proof and Percent by Volume on Alcohol?

[saverewaligadi]

Maine apne room mate ki daru ki bottle dekhi. Woh kabdhi rum pita hain to kabhi whiskey. Kabhi Bacardi brand to kabhi Chivas Regal. Abhi maine yeh dekha hain ki daru ki bottle par kuch aisa likha hota hain Alcohol 40% Proof to kabhi likha hota hain Alcohol 30% by Volume.

Een sab ka matlab kya hain? Kripya aapka gyan prastut karein.

Many time my room mate is drinking different alcohols. Some bottle is saying Alcohol 40% Proof and some is saying Alcohol 30% by Volume. What is meaning of this?

Anyways

The strength of an alcoholic beverage is usually expressed as either the percentage of absolute alcohol by volume, or as "proof." In the USA, proof is a measure of the amount of absolute alcohol in distilled spirits, and is calculated as the number of parts of alcohol in 200 parts of beverage at 60 degrees Fahrenheit (a beverage that is 50% alcohol is "100 proof;" a beverage that is 43% alcohol is "86 proof"). Under the American system, one "proof" is equal to one-half percent of alcohol by volume.
The concept of "proof" emerged prior to the 18th century, when few people had the equipment necessary to make precise measurements of the percentage of alcohol in a beverage. Exotic formulas, such as igniting a mixture of equal parts of the beverage and gunpowder, were used to test the proof of distilled spirits.

A different system for measuring proof is used in England, In England, proof is measured by comparing equal volumes of water and the beverage at 51 degrees Fahrenheit. 100 proof is set at the point at which the beverage weighs 12/13th as much as water. This means that a beverage that is said to be 100 proof under the British system is 114.2 proof under the American system. A beverage that is 100 proof under the American system is said to be 87.6 proof under the British system.

I m flattered.. you compared me to saverewalighodi..

But parshu, my hindi is much much purer (200% proof )than that of saverewalighodi when I choose to speak in pure Hindi. No bro I have no relationship, business interest or investment in the unique creature called SWG. I wish I had his sense of humor

Does your friend get more drunk when he has higher 'proof' alcohol?
