What is "proof"?

Proof refers to a unit of measurement indicating the alcoholic strength of a beverage, particularly distilled spirits like whiskey, vodka, rum, and gin. In the United States, proof is defined as twice the percentage of alcohol by volume (ABV). For example, a beverage with 40% ABV would be considered 80 proof. Historically, the term "proof" originated in the United Kingdom, where it showed the alcohol content of spirits in relation to the amount of gunpowder that could still catch fire when soaked in the spirit. Today, it serves as a standard measure of alcohol strength, with 100 proof being typical for many spirits.

Example

In the United States, proof is a measure of the alcohol content in beverages, with 1 proof equal to 0.5 % alcohol by volume.

En los Estados Unidos, el grado alcohólico es una medida del contenido de alcohol en las bebidas, siendo 1 grado alcohólico igual a 0.5% de alcohol por volumen.

The term " proof " originates from the British Royal Navy, where sailors would test rum strength by igniting it with gunpowder; if it burned, it was " proof " it contained enough alcohol.

El término "prueba" se origina de la Real Armada Británica, donde los marineros probaban la fuerza del ron encendiéndolo con pólvora; si ardía, era "prueba" de que contenía suficiente alcohol.
