Alcohol has a lower specific gravity than water, so the reverse is true.

Thats right, the higher the hydrometer floats the higher the alcohol content.

Still, the Arkansas boys carried a hydrometer to show off the alcohol content of their products.
No counting bubbles.
Been many years since I pumped ethanol into a bore hole and had to know the weight.
