Alcoholic proof is a measure of how much ethanol is in an alcoholic beverage, and is approximately twice the percentage of alcohol by volume (ABV, the unit that is commonly used at present).

Proof = 2 x Percentage by volume
Proof = 2 x 63 = 126

Proof considted of mixing gunpowder with alcohol and lighting it. It was in 'proof' if it burned and the gunpowder exploded. Double your volume % and get the proof of alcohol. You have 126 proof. Max is 200 proof. Almost impossible to get because of the physics of distilling alcohol and water. You get to 190 proof (95 vol%) and you have to change distillation methods. You end up with 200 proof with poisonous traces which will kill.
