Because of the high concentration of alcohol, 45% at 90 proof, the alcohol acts like an anti-freeze.
90 proof means the alcohol content is 45%, by volume.200 proof = 100%180 proof = 90%and so on.
90 proof = 45 % alcohol. A very strong drink indeed.
Everclear is listed at 180 proof, or 90% alcohol per vol.
well alcohol has a lower freezing temperature than water. Therefore it can go below 0 degrees celsius or 32 Fahrenheit and still be liquid. (Well for harder liquor anyways--not beer, it will freeze) But i think it will still be fine.
45% The percentage of alcohol is always 1/2 of the proof.
The answer varies in each different liquor, and should be listed on the bottle as "proof". The "Proof" is twice the alcohol percentage, so 40 proof is 20% alcohol, 180 proof is 90% alcohol.
The strongest alcoholic drinks can have alcohol content ranging from 40% to over 90%. However, many commercially available strong alcoholic beverages like spirits typically range from 40-50% alcohol by volume (ABV).
In general, whiskeys are at that level. But there are specific brands that dilute to 45%, Skyy 90 vodka comes to mind.
Yes, if the alcohol has a high enough alcohol has around a 90% potency (180 proof), some times way less can also do good, like a 50% (100 proof) can be effective to disaffectent a wound.
45%, or 90 proof 45%, or 90 proof Actually it is 50% alcohol by volume which makes it 100 proof. The Red Labeled bottle is 40% alcohol by volume making it 80 proof
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.
