  proof = 2 x alcohol content by percentage volume
  
  in other news, a distillery is trying to make 195 to 196 proof single malt scotch

  Wah... so my Absolut Vodka is 80 proof!
  
  Actually, what's proof for?
  
  And, the person drinking that blardy scotch is gonna be blardly flammable so I hope, for his own sake, that he doesn't smoke!

  They're probably still in the process of dissolving... probably too nua to dissolve at a faster rate!

  Orh...
  
  So, should I chill my Absolut Vodka miniatures? Will they 'spoil' at room temperature?

  Oh! They don't have the miniatures for that! Well, at least, I didn't see it last night.
  
  Hmm... miniatures are really useful for novices like me!

  Hmm... actually, why do folks put ice in their scotch and other kinds of alcohol then?

  so how long can we keep champagnes? i got a 1989 champagne in the cabinet.. can still drink?
• the Bear

  27 Feb 06, 11:15

  scotch and bourbon and stuff like that, not that delicate... in fact, the flavours would be better appreciated if allowed to be diluted so that the sheer intensity doesn't overwhelm the senses..
  
  which is why "scotch and water" "scotch and soda"
