My favourite story,, American tourist goes into Young & Jackson, cultural
icon and all not just to see Chloe, and asks the barman to "Gimme something just like American beer" so the barman pours him a glass of water and charges $10. But I like Louie the budweiser lizard -- "Dave Proctor" wrote in message ... | On Thu, 18 Nov 2004 03:41:35 GMT, (Geoff Rait) wrote: | | In article , John M wrote: | In article , Dave Proctor writes | | A Septic would probably ask what happened to the Old Zealand and why | they had to replace it. | | A Septic might well have been Well.

It's 5% alcohol, not 5% proof. True - which makes it around 9% proof Keith |

It's 5% alcohol, not 5% proof. True - which makes it around 9% proof Proof? The old British method of measuring alcohol content The London Proof spirit was defined as "a mixture of alcohol and water which shall weigh exactly 12/13 part of an equal quantity of distilled water at 51° F." The US had a similar measure but it defined Proof Spirit as being 50% alcohol and 50% water Keith |

The older method was try to light it, if it burned, it was proof of the
alcohol content, but no way to establish at that time the exact content -- "Keith Willshaw" wrote in message ... | | "Peter" wrote in message | T... | In article , Keith Willshaw | says... | | "Craig Welch" wrote in message | news | On Thu, 18 Nov 2004 22:43:45 -0000, "Keith Willshaw" | wrote: | | As poor as it is in quality the Budweiser sold in | the UK is around 5% proof, assuming its a | low alcohol drink would be a mistake. | | It's 5% alcohol, not 5% proof. | | | True - which makes it around 9% proof | | Proof? | | The old British method of measuring alcohol content | | The London Proof spirit was defined as "a mixture of alcohol | and water which shall weigh exactly 12/13 part of an | equal quantity of distilled water at 51° F." | | The US had a similar measure but it defined Proof Spirit | as being 50% alcohol and 50% water | | Keith | | |
