The percentage of ethanol found in alcoholic beverages is one half of the value of the drink’s proof value. Ethanol is also used for manufacturing paints and varnishes, as a carrier in various medications, as a disinfectant, in some types of thermometers, as a fuel substitute, and in some forms of antifreeze.
