   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_by_volume

   In the United Kingdom, proof is 1.75 times the number (expressed as a percentage). [23] [20] For example, 40% alc/vol is 80 proof in the US and 70 proof in the UK. However, since 1980, alcohol proof in the UK has been replaced by alc/vol as a measure of alcohol content, avoiding confusion between the UK and US proof standards. [citation needed]

7. Alcohol measurements - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_measurements

   Ordinary distillation cannot produce alcohol of more than 95.6% by weight, which is about 97.2% ABV (194.4 proof) because at that point alcohol is an azeotrope with water. A spirit which contains a very high level of alcohol and does not contain any added flavoring is commonly called a neutral spirit. Generally, any distilled alcoholic beverage ...
