Alcohol is an enemy. He who flees from the enemy is a coward.
(On a sign of a bistro of the district of Halles in Paris)
A beverage alcoholic (or drink alcoholic), or one alcohol, is a drink (fermented, macerated, distilled or other) containing ethyl alcohol (or ethanol). The consumption Alcohol poses many health risks. As a result, most countries have legislation regulating the production, sale and consumption of these drinks.
According to some specialists, it would be appropriate to differentiate between the terms alcoholic ", when the alcohol comes from an external addition, and " alcoholic ", when alcohol is present without addition (such as spirits noble such as cognac). However, this distinction is not established in practice, the terms “alcoholic” and “alcoholic” being able to mean “which contains alcohol” without precision.
History of alcohol: The discovery ofalcohol probably dates from the Neolithic period, during the sedentarization of man, at random from a natural fermentation de products food. The literature has always reported the presence of alcohol in the social life of men. It is in the year 4 BC that we find the first references to a patented alcoholic : the beer in Mesopotamia. Alcohol has a use sacred and leads to mystical ecstasy. " The coupe »Containingalcohol is believed to contain divinity. The premiere vine would have been planted by Noah. “Noah planted the vine and got drunk” (Genesis). In antiquity, writings tell of the cult of Dionysos in Greece, and of Bacchus in Rome. It should be noted, however, that the Persian scholar Rhazes would have isolated theethanol in the course of the tenth century.
Manufacturing de l 'alcohol : It's here fermentation of sugars (glucose et fructose) contained in fruits, grains or roots (beet) which produces thealcohol.
The drink thus obtained can be distilled to give a calvados Or other liquor. The distillation of residues (marc) pressing gives the marc.
