: MY LAID-BACK, FUN-LOVING SIDE:
: Ok first the Mikko thing, since it won't take long: Ok remember the post around March 12 on this board where you asked me how about beer and the "40 proof"? Well, when you asked "how much" I thought you were referring to the WHISKY. And that is 80 proof (40% alcohol). I said 40 proof, but as you can see, I mixed up the two. As for beer, I've drank Coors (since its provided free at band practice) and that's 10 proof beer. I also tried some Newcastle brown ale the other night, and that seemed pretty good...of course I was drinking previously and when I'm drunk, EVERYTHING tastes good so who knows.
I'm going by European definitions here: far's I know you can only distill up to 70% alcohol. Now does this mean 40% of a maximum of 70% (in reality almost 60%) or what?
