100 proof is 50% alcohol and 50% water or other non-alcoholic liquids.Proof is 2 times greater than the percentage.

Answer 2

Proof refers to the percentage of ethyl alcohol by volume in any particular type of alcoholic beverage.  Proof corresponds to twice the percentage rate.  For example, a bottle of whiskey may be 80 proof or 40% alcohol by volume.

Answer 3

Alcoholic proof is a measure of how much alcohol (i.e., ethanol) is in an alcoholic beverage; proof is twice the percentage of alcohol by volume (ABV, the most widely used unit of measurement).

The measurement of alcohol content and the statement of this content on liquor bottle labels is regulated by governmental action. The purposes of such regulation are to tax alcohol and to provide pertinent information to the consumer.

Answer 4

I don't know what the reference is to personality, but in terms of alcohol, the proof level is twice what the percentage of pure alcohol is.  Therefore, 100 proof liquor would be 50% pure alcohol.  if there were liquors that were 200 proof, they would be 100% pure alcohol.
