amiright?

Jamesons is 80 Proof. Divided by two is 40% ABV. Sixteen (ounces in a pint) times four tenths, is two times thirty-two tenths, is 64 tenths is 6.4 ounces ethanol.

Let's try that again...

"75 proof booze of any kind will be 6 oz ethanol per 16 oz pint."

75 proof = 35% alcohol = 0.35 x volume

0.35 x 16 oz = 6 oz alchol.

1245A Defender is correct.

However...

If it's actually 80 proof, that's 40% = 0.40 x 16 = 6.4 oz alcohol.

Nightmare is correct, as well.

You're both correct insofar as you both calculated properly given your different inputs (75 proof vs 80 proof).

Seems everything that tastes good is bad for you. Even my beloved bacon.

While I do like bacon, I find joy in eating a lot of healthy things, including a good orange or grapefruit, blackberries, celery, walnuts, salmon, butternut squash (just had some for dinner), cherries, chicken, turkey, grapes, carrots, broccoli...

Who says good food doesn't taste good? I think it tastes great!
