Beer percentages OOP WAS:Re: [Sca-cooks] MY DAY IN CLASS

I think part of the confusion over the percentage of alcohol in beer comes from the difference between proof and percent.  For some obscure reason, proof is twice percent, so if a beer is 6 percent, it's 12 proof.  What my father-in-law (a cousin of Baron Corwyn's) was getting as he lay under the worm with his mouth open was probably nearly 200 proof.

OK, what's the deal. I checked all the beer in the pantry and the Zima
Regular and Zima Citrus, the Smirnoff Ice and the Fuzzy Navel all had % on
the bottles. However, Miller Genuine Draft Light, MGD Genuine Draft, Miller
Lite, Corona Extra, Corona Light, Henry Weinhard's Private Reserve,
Heineken, and Skyy Blue are all %less. Aren't these guys supposed to put a
percentage on everything, or is all beer considered between a certain
percentage?
