Liquor like wiskey , moon shine (homemade beer, illegal)
The only thing in any liquor that will harm you is ethanol. If you want to avoid it, don't drink liquor.
Ethanol is the primary type of alcohol in alcoholic beverages.
No, ethanol is not an ingredient typically found in methamphetamines. Methamphetamines are synthesized using chemicals such as pseudoephedrine or ephedrine, not ethanol. Ethanol is a type of alcohol that is commonly found in beverages like beer, wine, and liquor.
I'll answer half of the question. Ethanol is the alcohol that is in alcoholic beverages -- liquor, beer, wine, etc. There are too many variables to answer the second part of the question. The amount of ethanol necessary to intoxicate depends on the concentration of the ethanol, the weight of the person, whether they are male or female, what they have eaten before imbibing, their tolerance to alcohol, etc.
Beer is a fermented product of grains such as barley and rice. The alcohol in beer is the same as other alcoholic beverages; it is ethanol.
Since liquor is a mixture of mostly wafer and ethanol, you need to do a weighted average between them. Ethanol's density is about 80% of water's by the way. It comes out to: 1 - (.2x/100), where x is the percentage of alcohol in the drink your drinking.
A single shot of any liquor that is at least 40% ABV will contain the same amount of ethanol as in one serving (a pint or bottle) of 5% ABV beer or more.
12 ounces of beer delivers approximately half an ounce of ethanol.
None. Ethanol contains 7 calories per gram, but since ethanol is boiled off (distilled) from the sugary mash that creates it, there are no sugars or other carbohydrates left. This is not only true of ethanol, but all unflavored liquor. In fact, chronic alcoholics go through the same process of ketosis sought after by low-carb dieters; they're subsisting on ethanol calories and their blood sugar is near rock bottom.
Fractional distillation is the process of separating two (or more) liquids based upon differences in their boiling points. In liquor, ethanol has a lower boiling point than water, so a mixture of water and ethanol can be heated to allow the alcohol to boil. The vapor goes through a tube, is cooled and collected in a separate container, and a mixture that was mostly water is now mostly ethanol.
Ethanol, both a liquor and a fuel, has been around in the form of Moonshine Whiskey since 15th Century Scotland. In 1908, Ford Motor Company's first car, The Model T, used ethanol corn alcohol gasoline for fuel energy (gasoline).
Since gasoline and ethanol do not have exactly the same boiling point, it is possible to separate them by means of fractional distillation. But if you are just looking for cheap vodka, it's really not worth the trouble. Just buy vodka at the liquor store, it's much easier that way.
