Alcoholic Beverages
Alcoholic beverages are drinks that generally contain 3% – 40% alcohol, and are divided into the three classes of beers, wines, and spirits. Alcoholic beverages have been produced and consumed by humans since the Neolithic Era, and are still consumed in nearly all countries today; however, most of these countries have laws regulating alcohol's production, sale, and consumption.

What does alcohol change into during oxidation?
Alcohol is changed to acetaldehyde in the liver, then finally is converted to acetic acid and water.
Name an alcoholic drink made from sugar cane?
Rum is an alcoholic drink made from sugar cane. It is distilled from fermented sugarcane juice or molasses and is a popular spirit enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in cocktails.
How does alcohol affect the brain centers?
Acute alcohol intoxication is result of widespread changes in brain metabolism. The greater the amount of alcohol the greater the affect on your brain. One of the mechanisms by which alcohol lowers brain metabolism is via its interaction with GABA receptors. GABA receptors are an inhibitory class of receptors whose function is to reduce the activity of neurons. Many drugs used in the treatment of anxiety also work by this mechanism. Because GABA receptors are ubiquitously expressed, this explains the variety of behavioral changes ensue during inebriation; such as decreased attention span (frontal cortex), slurred speech (motor cortex/cerebellum), social disinhibition and sensations of wellbeing (limbic areas), blurry vision (vestibular-ocular reflex deficits), and poor balance control (vestibular function).
A "fifth" can be any liquid. ( It is a colloquialism for alcohol in US only) . It is generally around 750 ml.
What classification of alcohol is resistant to oxidation?
Primary alcohols are more resistant to oxidation compared to secondary and tertiary alcohols. This is because primary alcohols have a hydrogen atom attached to the carbon with the hydroxyl group, which can be oxidized to form an aldehyde or carboxylic acid.
What chemical in alcohol makes it so flammable?
The flammability of alcohol is due to its high volatility and low flash point. The main chemical responsible for this is ethanol, which is the most common type of alcohol found in alcoholic beverages. Ethanol vaporizes easily and ignites quickly when exposed to a flame or spark, making it highly flammable.
Alcohol affects the brain centers?
Drinking alcohol (beer, wine or liquor) in moderation improves thinking, reasoning and cognition; reduces risk of strokes; reduces risk of dementia and Alzheimer's disease; and reduces damage to injured brains.
Abusing alcohol, especially over a period of decades, can cause damage to the brain.
What are the the names of the alcohols in chemistry?
In chemistry, an alcohol is an organic chemical with the basic formula of R-OH. Here are some common alcohols:
- Methanol - wood alcohol
- Ethanol - the kind people drink
- Isopropyl - rubbing alcohol
- Ethyl - another rubbing alcohol
- Ethylene Glycol - used in antifreeze
- Glycerol - glycerin
How does 750 ml compare to a us quart?
750 milliliters equals 25.36 ounces. A quart equals 32 ounces. Therefore, 750 mls is less than one quart.
What is the strongest alcohol in the us?
Everclear, which is a brand of grain alcohol, is typically considered the strongest alcohol available in the United States. It has a high alcohol by volume (ABV) percentage, usually around 95%, making it extremely potent.
California is a renowned wine growing region with diverse microclimates suitable for producing a variety of grapes. Famous regions include Napa Valley, Sonoma County, and Paso Robles, known for their high-quality wines such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, and Zinfandel. The Mediterranean climate, varied soil types, and experienced winemakers contribute to the success of California's wine industry.

Is rubbing alcohol a heterogeneous mixture?
No, rubbing alcohol is a homogeneous mixture because its components (isopropyl alcohol and water) are evenly distributed throughout the solution.
How many ounces in a bar drink?
Here in America, I've seen 8-ounce cans or bottles (known as ponies), 12-ounce cans or bottles, 16-ounce cans, 24-ounce cans, quart bottles (32 ounces), and 40-ounce bottles available for sale at 'package liquor' stores. Kegs are even larger!
A regular bottle of wine is 750ml. 1 U.S. ounce is equal to 30 ml (29.573). Therefore, a regular bottle of wine is roughly 25 ounces. (Though there are some larger and smaller bottles on the market).
What is the best tasting vodka?
This depends only on your preferences; I recommend vodkas with an alcohol concentration of 40-50 %. Any additives as juices, sugars, dying agents, etc. must be avoided; these additives are for idiots, individuals which don't know vodka. Also vodka is good very, very cold.
Whats the difference between rubbing alcohol and witch hazel?
for short- rubbing alcohol is very extremely hazardous to humans and bacteria, and is chemical based.
And whitch Hazel is organic and is used for acne cream-cuts-shaving cream etc.
rubbing= Isopropyl alcohol- Isopropyl alcohol (also 2-propanol, rubbing alcohol, or the abbreviation IPA) is a common name isopropyl. Isopropyl alcohol is a colorless, flammable chemical compound with a strong odor. It has the molecular formula C3H8O and is the simplest example of a secondary alcohol, where the alcohol carbon is attached to two other carbons. Isopropyl alcohol is extremely hazardous to humans; it is not intended for human consumption, or any other forms of internal usage!
Witch Hazel- Witch-hazel (Hamamelis) is a genus of flowering plants in the family Hamamelidaceae, with two species in North America (H. virginiana and H. vernalis), and one each in Japan (H. japonica) and China (H. mollis). They are deciduous shrubs or (rarely) small trees growing to 3-8 m tall, rarely to 12 m tall. The leaves are alternately arranged, oval, 4-16 cm long and 3-11 cm wide, with a smooth or wavy edge. The flowers are sometimes produced on the leafless stems in winter, thus one alternative name for the plant, "Winterbloom". Each flower has four slender strap-shaped petals 1-2 cm long, pale to dark yellow, orange, or red. The fruit is a two-part pod 1 cm long, containing a single 5 mm glossy black seed in each of the two parts; the capsule splits explosively at maturity in the autumn about 8 months after flowering, ejecting the seeds with sufficient force to fly for distances of up to 10 m, thus another alternative name "Snapping Hazel".Hamamelisspecies are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Feathered Thorn. The name Witch has its origins in Middle English wiche, from the Old English wice, meaning "pliant" or "bendable". Hazel is derived from the use of the twigs as divining rods, just as hazel twigs were used in England. The Persian Ironwood, a closely related tree formerly treated as Hamamelis persica, is now given a genus of its own, as Parrotia persica, as it differs in the flowers not having petals. Other closely allied genera are Parrotiopsis, Fothergill and Sycopsis (see under Hamamelidaceae). Witch-hazels are not closely related to the hazels. for short- rubbing alcohol is very extremely hazardous to humans and bacteria, and is chemical based.
And whitch Hazel is organic and is used for acne cream-cuts-shaving cream etc.
part of my lab- which alcohol inhibits the growth of bacteria the most?
What are the substrate for fermentation?
The substrates for fermentation are typically carbohydrates, such as glucose or sucrose. These sugars are broken down by microorganisms like yeast or bacteria to produce energy in the form of ATP and fermentation byproducts like ethanol or lactic acid.
How many cups are in a milliliter?
1 ml = 0.00422675282 US cups
1 US cup = 236.588238 ml
1 metric cup = 250 ml
Also, 1000 mL = 1 liter (or 1 mL = 0.001 L)
1 milliliter = 0.00423 cup
1 cup = 236,60 milliliter = 23,66 centiliter = 2,366 deciliter = 0.2366 liter
When was the first ethyl alcohol produced?
The first ethyl alcohol is believed to have been produced over 9,000 years ago in ancient China through the fermentation of fruits or grains. This process eventually spread to other regions and civilizations, leading to the development of alcoholic beverages.
How denatonium benzoate can be omitted?
First, this needs clarification if "leave out" or "remove" is meant.
It is added to prevent drinking, usually because what it is added to is highly toxic, and there are other agents (eg quinine) that will also make a substance bitter.
If you mean remove, distillation is the obvious choice but it might take a couple runs. Ion exchange resins may also be useful if they are compatible with the ethanol. Activated carbon would probably also work. Still, I would not advise ingesting any denatured alcohol unless it was chemically identified as pure and not laced with methanol - which will kill you or make you blind.

Alchohol doesnt freeze in your freezer because the freezing point of alcohol is much lower than that for water.
Each substance has different specific freezing and boiling temperature. Since most foods contain water, that is what freezes. Things that have alcohol boil/catch fire faster and they freeze at a very low temperature.
The freezing point of ethyl alcohol is -117.3 C, or -17,914 F. Therefore you can freeze alcohol but most people think it doesnt because the average freezer doesnt even get close to -17,914 F.
Technically, alcohol can indeed freeze. It just does not freeze as quickly as water. The reason is because the freezing point for alcohols is quite a bit lower than the freezing point for water.
