̊Proof
In the 18th century soldiers and sailors used to test if their officers had diluted their rum or gin by soaking gun powder in the spirit. If it caught light it proved it was genuine, thus 100 proof (57.15% abv). If any less the gunpowder would not light; proof that something was amiss. Mutiny!!
100% Alcohol is 175; 50 ABV is 87.5.
