How do I know if a drink is strong?
Drinks with more alcohol are stronger than those with less. Proportions are used to measure the alcohol content of a drink. One proof is equal to one percent alcohol per 100g alcohol volume. So a 12 oz. bottle of wine would be ten proofs, and a 16 oz. beer would be 13proofs and a 40oz. 45 proofs would be the bottle of Scotch.
