FAQ
What kind of glasses should you buy?
Buy glasses that hold 4oz (118ml) or less. Glasses that are larger than this can get very hot and cause burns.
How can you tell if a beverage is strong?
Alcohol in strong drinks tends to be higher than alcohol in weak drinks. The amount of alcohol in a drink is measured in proof. One proof is equal to one percent alcohol per 100g alcohol volume. So a 12 oz. A bottle of wine will have ten proofs. A 16 oz. beer would have 13 proofs while a 40-ounce bottle would have 38. 45 proofs would be required for a bottle of Scotch.
