Rite, been arguing with a lad where im working...
He says, if you mix alcohol, you add the %'s together... But that's not right is it?
He said he made a 90% drink out of vodka, JD, sex on the beach and other stuff, but that isn't how it works is it?
Isn't it just the average over all of them?
Surely the lower % things mixed, will dilute the higher % stuff?
Who's right?

He is not right no it will be the strength of the strongest one ie the vodka.
However anything over 60% really is not to good for you which is why I have brought a bottle of red absynth home with me 80% and 160 proof ;)

Your mate has clearly drunk too much and become a bit retarded ;)
i you mix half a 40% alc drink, and half 20% then you get a 30% drink, not 60%

Out of interest, what sort of percentage would I get mixing Gin, Vodka, Wiskey and say a pint of Tennants Super strong? That should add up to about 128% in your mates eyes!

Anyone that says they had " a 100+ odd percent drink" is just taking the mick!
If anyone had a drink worth more than a ton in percentage could nacker your liver!

Not quite. You can't go over 100% by volume, but you can go over 100% proof

Drunk half a pint of absinth in Malia after 24 vodka oranges and some shots of sambuca. Spent the rest of the night rubbing girls facing on the strip. Good times.
