Wine and bear are made by fermentation of a source of sugar in anaerobic conditions at an optimum temperature of 30°C by action of the enzymes in yeast.
Word equation: glucose ---> ethanol + carbon dioxide + energy
Symbol equation: C6H12O6 -----> 2C2H5OH + 2CO2 + Energy (Exothermic reaction)
While the yeast grows and metabolises the glucose, the ethanol produced accumulates in the mixture becoming toxic for the yeast cell when it has reached a concentration between 14 and 18%, thereby killing the yeast cell.
This is why the percentage of alcohol in wine and beer can only be approximately 16%. In order to produce strong alcoholic drinks (with a higher concentration of ethanol) the fermented mixture must be distilled heating it above the boiling temperature of ethanol (78°C) and below the boiling temperature of water (100°C). The ethanol vapour is collected and passed through a condenser where the temperature drops below 78°C, the ethanol condenses and is collected at the end at a higher concentration.

Concrete mixer, food mixer, an alcoholic drink? More information is needed.
The proof system in the the US is ABV * 2. So a strong liquor at 110 proof is 55% ABV.
Any alcoholic drink (ethanol and water) is a good example.
Apple cider can be used to make applejack, which is a strong alcoholic drink that became popular in the American Colonies. The name applejack came from the freeze distillation process called jacking.
Consult the label for the alcoholic proof.
Cold and strong
Bones are strong due to calcium. This is a strong reason for feeding children with the products which are rich of calcium: i.e. milk, cheese, cottage cheese.
One if the drink contains a large quantity of alcohol. It also depends if you are male or female and your body size. Also varies from person to person. Also depends on the time between drinks. Lots of variables here. Basically if you have 2 strong drinks within a 1 hour period you may be above the legal limit. It really depends on your body.
Poitín, which is pronounced putcheen.

In the Netherlands the legal drinking age is 16 for low alcohol beverages below 21% (beer, wine) and 18 for strong alcoholic drinks of 21% or above.
Brandy.
