Vodka-sipping barfly goes up in flames

Service Law, any liquor of 60-percent proof or over is designated as a "dangerous material" .....
"When you are under the influence of alcohol your ability to make decisions quickly is hampered, so we expect this kind of incident to happen again," a spokesman for the fire department said. Specifically, the department wants liquor importers to put a big "Danger" label on bottles of hard liquor.

He suffered burns to his arms, but the matter did not stop here -- the accident prompted the Tokyo Fire Department to urge Japan's national imported liquor association to warn drinkers of the dangers of hard liquors

Don't drink and drive,
Don't drink and smoke,

Don't drink and do something else at the same time... you might spill your drink (all over yourself and catch on fire)

Yeah, you put a picture of Piper on the bottle and I'll accept it as fair warning of what can result from over-indulgence.

What do they mean by "percent proof?" I know that in the US 80-proof equals 40% alcohol, but do they mean 60% or 60-proof?

Just wondering.
