Replying to Avatar Paul

The best alcoholic drink is vodka. During fermentation yeasts produce toxic congeners such as methanol and other alcohols (known as fusel alcohols), acetone, acetaldehyde, esters, tannins, and aldehydes (e.g. furfural). Also the yeasts produce various antibiotics as they are competing with bacteria to consume the sugars. A further issue can be sulphites added to wine. These congeners and chemicals are what cause hangovers.

Distillation and then filtration is used to produce pure ethanol which is called vodka.

Fantastic info there Paul. After many years of drinking and almost as many years of hangovers, I chose to stop injesting alcohol. Cheers to those that drink , and I never met a drink I didn't like either, from wine to whisky and everything in-between. Don't miss hangovers one bit though.

Ayy, and I woke up in morning and I got myself a beer

Let it roll, baby, roll

Let it roll, baby, roll

Let it roll, hey, all night long". Jim
