Yeah, I read that. They would dunk a pellet of gunpowder in the alcohol and try to light it. If it ignited, that was "proof" of a higher alcohol content, and it would be taxed higher. But I guess why create a metric that's exactly double an already established convention (alcohol by volume)? Why not just continue to use ABV? Or is that government bureaucracy for you, even in 1848?
