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.
Hence the word proof. Pure alcohol, like the kind used in laboratories, is 200 proof, being 100 percent alcohol. A combination of half alcohol and half water is scored as 100 proof or 50 percent alcohol. Proof is a measure of alcoholic strength, not necessarily of quality.
