It took me a couple minutes to digest, because my brain by default refused to let me assume someone would ask something this dumb.

It means if you consume this whole bottle 13.5% of your body will be pure alcohol
It’s generally safe but I’d stay clear from torches

I tutored mathematics in an elementary school as a part time job in college. The lag starts early, kids get frustrated and avoidant with the basics which makes the next advancement more frustrating. Suddenly it’s high school and instructors are way less patient with questions like this that show a gap that should have been bridged sometime in early middle school.Â
But seriously fuck Bush with his NCLB bullshit.

Okay, just so I know I’m not stupid… it means both right?
I mean, I know what it means, but sometimes people ask questions that are so dumb that you need external validation to make sure you aren’t stupid too

Ngl, the thing that bothers me is the comma. 13,5 is not 13.5 ðŸ˜

this is actually fun one and not a dumb question
Alcohol is lighter than water (this is why you don’t drink cocktails through a straw cause the first thing you’ll taste is the alcohol). But Alcohol is hydrophilic and mixes readily with water. So while you will roughly get the alcohol content, you will need to stir or mix the bottle to get it mixed or you will have a slightly alcohol heavier top half and a alcohol lighter bottom half. You do not need to mix carbonated drinks the carbonation does it for you. But overall the difference is pretty negligible if you aren’t a chemist or chemical engineer, if it was every bottle of liquor or wine would have a shake before serving label on it.
typically when companies want to test alcohol content they’ll stir it then send it to the lab where it will be stir some more while they do the tests. Or they will do the float test where they have this little floating rod that raises and lowers based on buoyancy which will determine alcohol content

the way this is both confidently incorrect and aggressively unhelpful is honestly kind of impressive. like yes babe, shake it up, let’s redistribute the confusion evenly throughout the bottle but also this is exactly how people end up arguing with bartenders like they’ve unlocked forbidden chemistry knowledge. the alcohol was never hiding at the bottom plotting against you, i promise.

That right there is why the power rangers had to yell out what color they were
Well supposedly there ARE different ways to calculate percentages…
