The alcohol content is how much alcohol is in the drink and the proof is double that.
For example, a beer has around 5% alcohol, so that's 10 proof. Usually people don't talk about proof unless it's hard liquor.
What is normal to drink? I guess a cooler or two in a social gathering. I live in BC and I'm allowed to legally drink at home so to avoid embarrasing myself, I won't have more than two drinks (i.e. beers or coolers) and I won't have anything stiff. Some people get hammered off a cooler though and some need to down half a two-six of rum.
I would stay away from liquor until you're of legal age though. If you don't know what your limit is, it could really screw you up if you drink too much.

in case you dont want to read the sites. proof is meassure in degrees. one degree is half a percentage point of alcohol. so 40 proof = 20% which means how much of the drink is alcohol. beer is usualy about 4% wine about 6% vodka and other hard drinks about 40%
