I have always believed that only by experiencing can one adapt to circumstances.
Respect those older than you, and cherish those younger than you.
The term "proof" in English is a measurement that can be easily confused. In mainland China, saying sixty degrees refers to alcohol containing sixty percent [illustration]. In fact, using the British calculation, forty percent alcohol is already seventy degrees. The American calculation is even simpler, where two degrees equal one percent alcohol, so eighty-degree whiskey only has forty degrees of alcohol. Therefore, Scotch whiskey never states how many degrees, only how many percent.
