So I just cracked open pic related, but someting is wrong. The beverage feels VERY watered down to me...

>thread filled with images of alcohol burning
>claims its bullshit

pls

Fucking idiots

>Pour the whisky into a cup and measure the depth to which any buoyant object sinks in the whisky
>repeat with alcohol you know to be at 40abv
>compare depths, as buoyant forces are proportional to density you can work out the alcohol content

This is how alcometers work and has the added benefit of not being a fire hazard and being nondestructive meaning you can drink the rest after the test

>other compounds which boil at a low temperature.
such as?

what if the manufacturer substituted oils instead of alcohol, which have similar density

Oils are way more expensive than ethanol, why would anyone do that
