Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In the United States, the modern definition of alcohol proof is twice the percentage of ABV. Alcohol Proof Example: An alcoholic beverage that is 40% ethyl alcohol by volume is referred to as being '80 proof'. 100-proof whiskey is 50% alcohol by volume. 86-proof whiskey is 43% alcohol by volume.
