A joke about alcohol proof was posted on Reddit—Oneliners on February 24, 2021:
“I think someone’s been Watering down my Whiskey but I don’t have the Proof.”
Wikipedia: Alcohol proof
Alcohol proof is a measure of the content of ethanol (alcohol) in an alcoholic beverage. The term was originally used in England and was equal to about 1.821 times the percentage alcohol by volume (ABV). The UK now uses the ABV standard instead of alcohol proof. In the United States, alcohol proof is defined as twice the percentage of ABV.
