<cplusplus> Beer is like 12 proof.
<jp70> Raspberry Ciderjack, that sounds good
<cplusplus> I have shit in my cubord that's 150 proof.
<jp70> So what is hard cider's proof?
<cplusplus> I dunno. I'd guess two to four?
<cplusplus> Do you know the % acl content?
<jp70> Yah not much.  I love cider though.
<jp70> acl = alcohol?
<cplusplus> Yeah
<jp70> isn't the % acl content the proof?
<cplusplus> no
<jp70> Oh
<cplusplus> 150% alchohol content?
<jp70> Oh yah.
<jp70> :)
<jp70> So what's proof?
<cplusplus> Twice the %
<jp70> That seems like a pointless system, then.
<cplusplus> If you deal with percentages, you get non real
numbers. With the proof system you can round and multiply and you
always get a real number. And when you're drunk you want to know the
difference between 12.1 and 12.9
<cplusplus> or something. I don't know.
<cplusplus> That's what I thought, too.
