Hello fellow talkbassers, Come this wednsday I will be 21 years old. I'm really excited. Now I have a question for you guys and gals. Where did the term "proof" originate from? Why don't we just say 40% alcohol instead of 80 proof. I think saying 40% alcohol is clearer. Thanks guys and gals, this has been puzzling me for the longest time. Sincerely, -Greg P
I always thought it was what you said when you took a good hard slug of something that read, "Best if not drunk near open flame" on the label. Rock on Eric
If it doesn't make your short and curlies stand straight out it ain't a good drink. I love that quote. Rock on Eric
Yes I have. Its actually good. It tastes like vodka when mixed with somthing, but straight is no good
