Very good!
Josh ordered a drink. 80 proof. The drink should have cost him $5. It cost him his rent deposit. How come?

No.
When you say 80 proof do you mean 40% ABV?
Could this happen with any “80 proof” drink?
If not, does it need to be clear? opaque? made with a particular ingredient?
When you say 80 proof do you mean 40% ABV? Yes
Could this happen with any “80 proof” drink? Yes, 80 proof or above
If not, does it need to be clear? opaque? made with a particular ingredient? Yes to made with a particular ingredient
If someone sitting next to Josh ordered the same beverage, would that person have paid $5?
If Josh ordered another serving, would it cost him $5, or the larger “rent deposit” amount?
Did Josh pay in cash?
OK seems to be a discrepancy: you say any 40% ABV drink will count, but also that it needs to be made with a particular ingredient. I think the only common ingredient in all spirits is water. Is water the ingredient you referred to?
Would a bourbon and a vodka both work?
