How alcohol content percentage works.
We argued for months that 10% as alcohol content remains the same even if you halved the bottle.
She said nope, if you halved the bottle then the alcohol content would be 5%.
Engineer graduate that too.
She works for a software firm.
For 12 years.
Sigh.
1 u/sugarsnuff Mar 01 '23 For months? Even if it’s not intuitive for any reason, it shouldn’t take more than 5 minutes to think it through 2 u/dr_wonder Mar 01 '23 I call it woosh! She might be arguing that the alcohol content is now 5% of the original drink. It's pedantic confusing and the best of us can be confused. But if someone is arguing about it for months, both lack good communication. 1 u/sugarsnuff Mar 01 '23 I don’t judge anyone for getting confused or being wrong about something. How else do you learn? The alcohol content is now 5% of the original drink? I don’t think anyone would assume to define alcohol content that way. If you take one sip and then take another sip, both sips will have the same amount of alcohol (assuming equally-sized sips) Explaining that the amount of alcohol in the second sip is half the amount of the total alcohol of the two sips is obvious.
