What proof is vodka usually?
There is a range of proofs, but the standard proof of vodka is 80, which translates to 40% ABV. The U.S. requires that all vodka be at least 80 proof, but this standard varies between countries, although 80 proof is still common internationally. That doesn't mean there aren't options with higher alcohol content.
