Ice cubes are available in many sizes and shapes. They can cool drinks down and add flavor. Crushed ice can be used to make daiquiris; cubed ice can be used to make margaritas.
How can I tell whether a drink is too strong?
A stronger drink contains more alcohol than a weaker one. The proof is the measure of alcohol in a beverage. One proof equals one part alcohol per 100% pure grain alcohol volume. So a 12 oz. bottle of wine would be ten proofs, and a 16 oz. beer would be 13proofs and a 40oz. 45 proofs would be the bottle of Scotch.
