If an eggnog bottle says its 10% alcohol on the bottle, does that mean the whole bottle is only 10%?

Question

so this is = to two bears that are 5% each.

Answer 1

The bottle is 10% alcohol by volume. So if the bottle of eggnog were the same size as a beer bottle then, yes, it would be like drinking two beers. But if the eggnog bottle were twice the size of a beer bottle then that would be like drinking four beers.

Answer 2

Eggnog is typically spiked with Rum. So if the bottle of eggnog says 10% it means that the bottle contains 10% alcohol by volume which comes out to around 20 proof. Example 100 proof Bourbon is 50% alcohol by volume.
So NO, you would not equal two 5% Beers.

Answer 3

Alcohol % in a beverage is by volume. This means that your entire bottle of eggnog contains 10% alcohol. So, 1 bottle or 10 bottles of beer still will only contain 5% alcohol in their entirety. It's just that the volume increases. You have 1 bottle or a gallon of beer, both will only contain 5% by volume. Your concept is correct but depending on your volume your % may be off. Hope this helps.

Answer 4

say a bottle of eggnog is 1 litre at 10% alcohol volume and the beer is only 500 mls at 5% alcohol volume you would need 2 of the beer to equal the alcohol percentage % shown on the egghog bottle does that make sense

Answer 5

It means that the whole bottle is simply 10%, or 20% proof. However, its not equal to just two beers, because the quantity of the beers is far less than the bottle (I assume). Only if the amount of eggnog equaled the amount of beer would the % comparison come into play

Answer 6

The whole bottle is 10% Alcohol which makes the bottle 20Proof

Answer 7

That means the whole bottle is only 10% alcohol by volume or 20 proof.

Answer 8

Only if the bottle of eggnog is the same number of ounces as one bottle of beer.

If the eggnog bottle is 10 ounces then one bottle of beer would have to be 10 ounces as well. That way drinking two of them would give them the same amount of alcohol as drinking one bottle of eggnog.

10% of 10 ounces is 1 ounce.

5% of 10 ounces is .5 ounces.

2 times .5 ounces equals 1 ounce.

So two bottles of 10 ounced beers equals one bottle of 10 ounce eggnog.

Answer 9

This system dates to the 18th century, and perhaps earlier, when spirits were graded with gunpowder: A solution of water and alcohol "proved" itself when it could be poured on a pinch of gunpowder and the wet powder could still be ignited. If it didn't ignite, the solution had too much water in it and the proof was considered low or "underproof". A "proven" solution was defined as 100 degrees proof (100°). This has since been found to occur at 57.15% ethanol. This is still used as the British definition. A simpler ratio to remember is 7:4, i.e. 70° proof is approximately 40% alcohol by volume. Thus pure alcohol is approximately 175 degrees proof (175°).

Answer 10

No this mean that each serving amount has 10% alcohol in it (you can finout how much a serving is by looking at the back of the carton at the top of the nutritional facts).
