There is lots of breath analyzers but how do I actually really know (except for reading the label-if provided) how much alcohol % is really in alcohol.? Can or do alcohol makers actually cheat on us? How and where can I get or even make my own tester?Does anybody know?

There is a product called a hydrometer. Your best bet to find one would be to look on homebrew webages. They're relatively cheap. There is a specific hydrometer called a "alcoholometer" (seriously). That's probably going to be the one you want.

Simplest Way Is The Proof Factor, If It Is 80 Proof It Is 40% Alcohol

buy a hydrometer. The term proof comes from the way they tested alcohol in the olden days. pour alcohol on gunpowder (not alot, your not trying to blow your hands off) and if its 100 proof or more it will burn blue

There are laboratories that can give you an alcohol % to the nearest 0.00 % on their gas chromatographs or other methods. I pay about $15 for each alcohol test done on my wines.

If there is no percentage then take the proof and half it. If you are going out to a bar, know what you are drinking, there is no point in buying things you do not know what it is.
