   > How many degrees has your vodka? ;-)   
      
   In the United States, alcoholic beverages are measured in percentage of   
   alcohol (for beers and malt liquors), or proof for liquors.   
      
   So, back when there was such a thing as "3-2 beer," that was 3.2% alcohol   
   by volume.  Meanwhile, to figure proof, you multiply the percentage times   
   2.  So a whiskey that is 100 proof is 50% alcohol by volume.   
      
   I just check a bottle of vodka distilled and bottled right here in   
   Kentucky.  It has both percentage (40%) and proof (80) listed on the front   
   of the bottle.  I did not see anything about degrees.  :(  I would feel   
   like it was more authentic if that was included.  :)
