In a beer an alcohol content of 5.9% is higher than standard. I suppose U.S. beer is all watered down so 5.9% is probably a pretty strong beer there. But here in Canada 5.9% is stronger than most, but by no means a strong beer.

Not really. However, if people falsely believe that a non-alcoholic beverage contains alcohol and consume a sufficient quantity, they can believe they are intoxicated and act intoxicated. See, for example, the related link.

A Korean liquor called soju contains formaldehyde. When you drink soju, you take the cap off and pour off the top inch of liquid to get it all out.

I assume that by alcohol you are referring to beer or something of that nature. Formaldehyde and other carbon-based compounds. People who live in mobile homes have become seriously ill due to their allergic reaction to the glues and resins used to assemble them. Mobile homes, especially older ones, contain a lot of formaldehyde in their construction.

Formaldehyde well below any possible toxic level is sometimes added to beer and ale as a partial preservative.

Apart from that, there is no formaldehyde in alcohol naturally. HOWEVER, all the necessary ingredients are there. Methanol (wood alcohol or shellac thinner) is so close chemically that the human body transforms it into formaldehyde, instead of into the similar chemical acetaldehyde that the body is equipped to break down and excrete.

Drinking methanol results in a rapid buildup of formaldehyde in the body that can cause rapid blindness, organ failure and death. If one escapes death, the likelihood of brain damage and neural problems is high.

Ironically, ethyl alcohol (beverage alcohol) is the antidote of choice for methanol poisoning, as the body will metabolize the ethanol first, slowing down the absorption of the methanol and allowing the body to deal with it more slowly. The ethanol levels required may, however, create their own problems, and this treatment should not be administered by untrained people. That said, if your buddy drinks a lot of wood alcohol and there's no ER nearby, you're on your own.

Straining wood alcohol through a loaf of bread DOES NOT make it safe to drink. It just ruins the bread.

Most Anheuser-Busch products run between 4.2 and 5% depending on brand. You can get many of the beers from Europe, Asia, Mexico etc. where the alcohol content varies depending on the brand> Some may be as high as 9% but most run in the 4 to 6% range. Check out www.alcoholcontents.com

The alcohol content in Miller High Life light is 4.2%.

Alcohol consumption becomes a problem when one is dependent on it and consumes it irresponsibly, which will affect the drinker and everyone associated with the drinker.

Heineken is a brand of beer, which is an alcoholic beverage.

Just about everywhere and anywhere, in fact if you are 21 or older, you can brew up to 200 gallons per year for personal use, or to give away without monetary gain in the United States, per household you live in.

tons and tons

I don't know, I'll try it and let you know!

whiskey that is either made at home or illegally

The intoxicating effect of alcohol is based on alcohol content measured as a percentage of volume. The higher the percentage of alcohol the stronger the beverage and more intoxicating compared to the same volume of lower percentage beverage.

In the case of most wine and beer, wine often has more alcohol by volume than beer.

Corona Extra = 4.6

When alcohol is left alone, the content becomes stronger due to fermentation. Wines and alcohol, though, can only reach a certain level of fermentation due to the yeast that is in them. Once the content reaches a certain level, the yeast dies off, hence stopping further fermentation and possibly destroying alcohol content. So, to say that alcohol content disappears when you leave a beer open depends on some factors. What alcohol content is the beer, has it been stored at a cold temperature, is the carbonation affecting it, all though I believe it would be safe to say the alcohol content would (at least some) still be in tact, it's the freshness of beverage and the quality. Would you really want to drink it? And how many days has it been opened. I know that wine required specific storing conditions or it will go bad due to residue and wine particles gathering and spoiling the wine, but am uncertain if the same principles apply to beer.

I believe that all nonalcoholic beers are .5% alcohol....

As pure ethanol, no. But if you're talking about brewed beverages that contain alcohol, it depends.

yes but you would have to drink TONS of it and you would probably make yourself very sick before you made yourself drunk

I think it is the water supplement in them. ;p

5.9 % alc by vol

because the recepters in your brain can not take any more !

A BAC of .08 is considered evidence of intoxication in Tennessee.
