Satellite view of Midway Islands. The Midway Islands or Midway Atoll [1] is a wildlife refuge in the north Pacific Ocean, roughly midway between California and East Asia, just east of the International Date Line.idway is part of the extended series of Pacific islands which include Hawaii. It is an atoll of several low, sandy islands. The two largest are Sand Island (the most developed) and Eastern Island (not to be confused with Easter Island), with the smaller Spit Island between them.
The amount of alcohol in the finished liquid depends on how much sugar there was at the beginning for the yeast to convert into alcohol. In beer, the alcohol is generally 3% to 12% (6 to 24 proof) and usually about 4% to 6% (8 to 12 proof). Depending on the strain of yeast, wines top out at about 14% to 16% (28 to 32 proof), because that is the point in the fermentation process where the alcohol concentration denatures the yeast.
'Proof' is a term that used to refer to whether or not alcohol - when poured over gunpowder - would ignite. Alcohol is now rated with a 'proof' equal to exactly twice it's alcohol content. Bud Light is 4.2% alcohol by volume in most of the U.S., so it would be 8.4 proof - though beer is rarely rated this way. Many other alcohols, like vodka and whiskey, are rated around 40% alcohol by volume in the bottle, or around 80 proof.
