Renaissance Philosophy. The Renaissance, that is, the period that extends roughly from the middle of the fourteenth century to the beginning of the seventeen century, was a time of intense, all-encompassing, and, in many ways, distinctive philosophical activity.
In charts and statistics a drink is normally defined as: 1  One 12 oz. 2  One shot of 80 Proof liquor or. 3  One 4-5 oz glass of wine.
Proof is an equation that even someone like me, who earned a C- in remedial math, can do: Double the number listed as the alcohol by volume on the bottle. A spirit with 40 percent alcohol by volume, therefore, is 80 proof. But as easy as the number is to calculate, the concept of proof is more challenging. Most people have a shaky grasp of the alcohol content in their beverages.
