title: Can we judge the strength of a drink?
abstract: Using the method of direct magnitude estimation, ten subjects each judged by taste the strength of ten rum/water mixtures; these ranged from 10% to 100% rum. Mean judgements of the concentration of rum were highly accurate (r = .99) and showed no tendency towards underestimation or overestimation at any concentration.
