Been thinking about this for a while. On a bottle of alcohol it might say its 40%. But then on the bottle it might also say 105% proof. What does this mean? Thanks

strongest stuff i've eva seen and drunk is this spirit called STROH or STROHL can't remember which, but they sell it in austria. 80% british standards and therefore 160% proof. Tasted absolutely rank. It honestly burnt ur mouth drinking it.
