Ahem, I think its important to let you all know (for those of us who may make lethal mistakes) that alcohol is actually a family of organic compounds and for the most part they are not suiable for drinking.
I think its only methanol, and up to 10ml can be consumed.
Right methanol is the alcohol in acoholic drinks that gets you drunk, ethanol tends to cause loss of sight and other alcohols can cause other serious problems.
Drinking pure alcohol would kill you. absynthe is bad enough it messes you up pretty badly. Think about it this may Vodka is 40% and I'm assuming pure alcohol os 100%.
Stick to beer... almost pure alcohol is called moonshine, its something like 95% alcohol.. if you do it wrong, just one shot has the ability to make you blind
THats home made though and therefore unregulated so you can make it 100% or 5% I assume. That was the problem with proabition (one of the many anyway). The illegal alcohol now on themarket was not regulated and could have anything in it.
Well...you end up with a severe hospital case. A cleaner at my school stole pure ethanol from our labs. Apparently he dosed his coffee with it. The next day our teacher told us he was at the hospital.
So if I add some rubbing alcohol to my soda I can get drunk?
Wrong type of alcohol. It is a different type of alcohol; it is not edible whatsoever. ---------
There's cyanide in second hand smoke.
And base chemical in urine is in cigs. ----------- Red wine is actually very healthy in small enough dosage; two glasses a day will help prevent heart disease and slow the aging process. Only if you drink more than four glasses will you get dangerously drunk. ------------ Any chemical that ends with '-ol' is a type of alcohol. Most of them are not consumable.
