    I think the intention is that you should aim to be 60% proof, so you can have as much Lambrini as it takes ;)

          In the UK 60% ABV would be 105° proof. The likes of Waitrose Everyday Vodka isn't strong enough.

          Proof is different to Alcohol by Volume. In the UK 70° proof is 40% ABV (but 35% ABV in the US).


          P.S. Cheap meths from Wilko is NOT suitable Methanol as an Ingredient in Hand Rub Can Pose Serious Health Risk

                  Our local supermarket (extended a while back to Mega market proportions) was cleaned out of bog roll yesterday... what do these individuals think is about to happen?!

                    Yes, I agree that this rush to buy up all the sanitary supplies is nutty @Loofah . And they say handwashing beats sanitizer every time. I still see people in the grocery store wearing those masks too and I shop during the day when there is hardly anyone there. Doesn't make sense at all. :scratch:

                    @shiney Oh Canada is far too long. I'd have scrubbed my skin off by the end of that :thud:

                    I'll stick with "Dear old captain Morgan, he was a deep sea gorgon, and every night by the pale moon light, he'd play with his …….. , ……. in the riggin," etc :heehee:

                        Bizarrely, local media are reporting that shops are running out of handwash and that includes the enormous mega store ASDA a couple of miles away. Some people really are strange.

                          Some people don't realise anti-bacterial handwash isn't anti-viral.

                            Financial Times

                            "Andrew Bailey promised the Bank of England will take action to reduce mpact of the coronavirus outbreak and the BoE and the Government will bail out companies suffering financial difficulties caused by Coronavirus"


                            Sounds like a bigger bail out than the banks in the Great Financial Crash. I didn't think there was any money left.

                                Hi,

                                Seems the Anti Bacterial Hand Gels do offer some protection against viruses, as long as the product contans 60%+ of alochol / ethonal.

                                Lots of web sites quoting medical folk saying so , though that could be fake news ??
