I wanted to find out what the proof no. meant in relation to the alcohol volume. I found this which explains it.
The proof number is twice the percentage of the alcohol content measured by volume at a temperature of 60 °F (15.5 °C). Therefore "80 proof" is 40% alcohol by volume (most of the other 60% is water), and pure alcohol would be "200 proof".
