If I mix 1 part 70 proof Southern Comfort with 1 part 100 proof Southern Comfort, do I get a 170 proof Southern Comfort drink? If so, how does the math work out?
P.S. I would be mixing the drinks exactly half and half with no additives.

Well, every one got the answer correct, but only one person calculated the answer like I asked for you to.
Every one gets an A for the correct answer, but Trid gets an A+ for the correct answer and for explaining how they came up with this answer.
Congratulations Trid you get best answer!

Let's do the math:
1 oz 70 proof (35%) would be 0.35 oz alcohol, 0.65 oz water
1 oz 100 proof (50%) would be 0.5 oz alcohol, 0.5 oz water
That would total 0.85 oz alcohol and 1.15 oz water. 0.85 oz of alcohol divided by the total of 2 oz = 42.5 % or 85 proof.
So...why mix them in the first place?

no you would get 170 proof divided by two which is 85 proof.
