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.

You could have a deadly car crash that leaves you or other innocent people either dead or permanently incapacitated. Never drive after drinking or drink while driving.

Alcohol reduces all of the important skills necessary to drive safely, such as judgment, reaction, vision and concentration. Alcohol is absorbed into the lining of the stomach and then passes directly into the bloodstream and reaches your brain within minutes after consumption. Alcohol affects those areas of your brain that control judgment and skill and is one reason why drinking alcohol is so dangerous; it affects your judgment. A person's judgment is the first thing affected after drinking an alcoholic beverage. Good judgment is important to driving but in this case, judgment helps you to know when to stop drinking. Alcohol puts good judgment on hold. You do not know when you have had too much to drink until it is too late. It is a little like a sunburn, by the time you feel it, it is already too late. Alcohol slows your reflexes and reaction time, reduces your ability to see clearly and makes you less alert. As the amount of alcohol in your body increases, your judgment worsens and your skills decrease. You will have trouble judging distances, speeds and the movement of other vehicles. You will also have trouble controlling your vehicle. If You Drink, Do Not Drive! The best advice is, if you drink alcohol, do not drive. Even one drink of alcohol can affect your driving. With two or more drinks in your bloodstream you are impaired and could be arrested.

Produced solely in Mexico, 100% agave tequila is made from the pina (or core) of the agave, a large plant resembling a cactus. It takes anywhere from six to ten years for the agave plant to mature, at which point it is traditionally hand-harvested by jimadores. The leaves are removed and the pinas are either cooked under pressure, or slow roasted for a minimum of 26 hours. The resulting liquid is twice distilled, then either bottled immediately (blanco, plata or silver tequila) or aged in oak barrels. Reposada tequila is aged from two month to one year, anejo for at least one year and extra anejofor no less than three years.
Mexican law mandates that all products carrying the label of tequila contain at least 51% agave, which means there is another variety of tequila: mixtos. Following distillation, mixto tequilas are given additives and colorings. Tequila aficionados frown on this category.

Usually not as most beer is made from barley, however there are wheat beers as well and can usually be told apart from barley beer by their paler colour and are more likely to be cloudy, it will also probably say it clearly on the bottle that it is a wheat beer for marketing purposes as they are comparatively rare and thus seem exotic.

Can you substitute red wine vinegar for red wine?
You shouldn't use what's sold as cooking wine at all, unless you really have no choice. Cooking wine is just really cheap-quality wine with added flavors; it's much, much better to use real wine and add your own flavors to whatever you cook.
Reasonable wine can be bought cheaply, and provided you'd drink it, you can cook with it. Today, most budget wines come in screw-top bottles, so what you don't use can be refrigerated for cooking or drinking another time.
Some dishes really need only red - or white - wine for color and flavor, but if either type of wine will give an acceptable result as far as you're concerned, then use whichever you prefer. If you're making a white sauce, of course, or something where the color needs to be light, you'll need to use white wine. Dishes using a good proportion of open mushrooms will look slightly grey if you use white wine, though the flavor will be great. Adding tomato paste will make white wine dishes a richer color.
Ideally, it's good to use some of a bottle of wine in the dish you're cooking, and drink some with the meal. If you have a strong preference for red wine over white wine, or vice versa, then this will drive your decision about what you're going to cook.
Most casseroles can be made with whichever wine you prefer. If you have no real preference then consider the final color: white wine won't change the color of the dish at all, whereas red wine will make it darker, so a casserole will have a richer color at the end of cooking if you use red.

What is the alcohol content of sloe gin?
Sloe Gin is still a popular drink, especially amongst the festival community. To make it you will need
- 1lb/454gm of washed sloes (these are best picked by hand in October/ November after the first frosts, from Blackthorn hedgerows)
- 75cl bottle of medium gin
- 4 ozs/112gm of sugar
- Sterilised 1 litre (or more depending on how much you want!) Le Parfait jar or wide necked bottle
- 2-3 drops of almond essence
For extra flavour you can also add a few cloves and a stick of Cinnamon.
Now the fun part! Cut the sloes and drop half into the bottle with the Gin. Top up until the Gin reaches the top of the jar. Add the sugar and almond essence, cover, and store in a cool dark place. Voila, you're done! Now all you have to do is turn the bottle daily for one week, and then weekly for one or two months.
After this time it will technically be ready to drink, but the best flavour comes from leaving it until the next winter.
Enjoy :)
