There are a number of different forms of alcohol, most of which are considered to be deadly poisons. The one form of alcohol that can be safely ingested by humans is ethanol, and even that's a matter of dispute among experts. Consuming any alcoholic beverage introduces a certain amount of pure ethanol into a system not readily designed to process it in large quantities. The average healthy liver, for example, can only process one ounce of ethanol per hour, which is a very low amount for a heavy social drinker to ingest.
