Consequently, 100-proof whiskey contains  50 per cent of alcohol by volume; 86-proof whiskey contains 43 percent of  alcohol by volume.

DIFFERENT PROOF SPIRITS

" Different Proof Spirit " Alcohol proof is a measure of how much ethyl alcohol is present in a  beverage. The term ‘proof’ is originated in the 18th century. In earlier days, distillers used to test the alcohol content of their products by mixing them in  equal proportions with gun powder and then lighting the mixture. If there was no  flame, it meant that the product was under proof, or too weak. If it exploded, or  burnt with too strong flame, it meant that it was too strong or over proof. If it  burnt with steady flame, it was just right, or 100% proof.
