Here are some friends with simlar question as we.And I have this question for many days,anyone help us?
Kitty said: Yes.would diluting a bottle of vodka decrease it's alchohol strength?-I try seach this on internet but no results found.Maybe this is a stupid question.
Mike said: oh,no,you are wrong.I have found as below for this question(would diluting a bottle of vodka decrease it's alchohol strength?),it will help you,my kids.
In the pub last night, a mate of mine reckons it would decrease it's 40% abv, he claims that if you poured a bottle of vodka into a swimming pool or whatever and by some miracle you drank all the water, you would have drunk less than 40%, i reckon you would still have drunk 40% no matter how much water you add.
Answers:
if you drink all of the swimming pool you have still drunk all the alcohol. It's like mashing up painkillers in jam/jelly to make them easier to swallow, still the same amount and strength of painkillers, just a nicer taste! although i'm sure the vodka would taste better without chlorine :o)
Other Answers:
it does a bit
An example:
1 litre of vodka at 40% contains 1000ml x 40% = 400ml alcohol.
1 litre of water at 0% alcohol contains 1000ml x 0% = 0ml alcohol.
If you mix the two together, you get:
1 litre of fluid with 400ml alcohol + 1 litre of fluid with 0ml alcohol
This gives 2 litres of fluid with 400ml alcohol.
Concentration here is 400ml alcohol / 2000ml fluid = 0.2 = 20%.
So, diluting a bottle of vodka (or any other solution) does decrease its strength,
However, the human body absorbs a 20% alcohol solution faster than a 40% alcohol solution. This will lead to a higher alcohol level in the blood. Therefore, 200ml of 20% alcohol solution will make you drunker than 100ml of 40% alcohol solution (assuming you aren't mixing your drinks).
(For full details of the physiological effects, see my answer to the question "if a pint has 5% alcohol, and a glass of whisky has 40% alcohol, does that mean 8 pint will have da same effect as one whisky ?...")

I'm the mate who said pouring a bottle of vodka 40% into a swimming pool decreases it strength, But I didn't say you had to drink all the water in the pool, As this would be impossible, So therefore you would only some of the swimming pool, Leaving most of the vodka 40% still in the pool, I can understand his mistake as he was so plastered last night, Drinking Vodkas believe it or not, SO THE ACTUAL QUESTION IS DOES VODKA 40% DECREASES IT'S ALCOHOL STRENGTH IF YOU POUR ALL THE VODKA 40% INTO A SWIMMING POOL BUT DON'T DRINK ALL THE WATER?

the percentage stays the same whatever you do to it. if you have 1 shot of vodka and lemomonade for example, it is the same strength as a double shot. your wrong your mate is right
It's 40% related to the volume of the water in which the alcohol is mixed.
no matter how much you dilute it if you drink all the liquid you diluted it by you would still drink the same amount of alcohol.The strength stays the same. it's the amount of it (diluted or not) that u drink that determinds how drunk u get If there is x units of alcohol in a bottle of vodka and you dilute it and then drink the new mixture, you will have drunk the same amount of alcohol. However the actual %age content does go down. In a standard litre bottle you have 400ml of alcohol and 600ml of what ever else makes up alcohol. If you put this mixture with a litre of water you now have 400ml of alcohol and 1600ml of othe liquid which means that the %age alcohol is now 20%, but the actual volume of alcohol present hasn't changed
You would have the same quantity.
Alcoholic strength refers to the concentration of alcohol in the liquid. Therefore, if you add a liquid to it with no alcohol in it, the resulting mixture will not be as strong.An example:
1 litre of vodka at 40% contains 1000ml x 40% = 400ml alcohol.
1 litre of water at 0% alcohol contains 1000ml x 0% = 0ml alcohol.
If you mix the two together, you get:
1 litre of fluid with 400ml alcohol + 1 litre of fluid with 0ml alcohol
This gives 2 litres of fluid with 400ml alcohol.
Concentration here is 400ml alcohol / 2000ml fluid = 0.2 = 20%.
