> How many degrees has your vodka? ;-)
In the United States, alcoholic beverages are measured in percentage of
alcohol (for beers and malt liquors), or proof for liquors.
So, back when there was such a thing as "3-2 beer," that was 3.2% alcohol
by volume. Meanwhile, to figure proof, you multiply the percentage times
2. So a whiskey that is 100 proof is 50% alcohol by volume.
I just check a bottle of vodka distilled and bottled right here in
Kentucky. It has both percentage (40%) and proof (80) listed on the front
of the bottle. I did not see anything about degrees. :( I would feel
like it was more authentic if that was included. :)
