Diuretics—These are drugs which act to increase the output of sodium and water in the urine, and are often used to treat disorders of the heart, kidneys, or liver which cause edema. A majority of the diuretics act up the kidneys by depressing the sodium reabsorbed. Thus, sodium remaining in the urine carries more water out of the body with it. Diuretics include thiazides, furosemide, and ethacrynic acid. Xanthine diuretics are mild diuretics but they are used by many people—perhaps unknowingly—since they are the caffeine, theophylline, and theobromine present in tea, coffee, cola and other soft drinks, cocoa, and many over-the-counter pain relievers. Moreover, water and ethyl alcohol (alcoholic beverages) can act as diuretics by inhibiting the release of ADH.

The most widely known aleohol is ethyl aleohol, simply beeause it is the aleohol in aleoholie drinks. It is also known as grain aleohol, or by its proper name, ethanol. Ethyl aleohol is a eolorless, volatile liquid with a eharaeteristie odor and a pungent taste. It has a flash point of 55°F, is classified as a depressant drug, and is toxic when ingested in large quantities. Its molecular formula is CjHjOH. In addition to its presence in alcoholic beverages, ethyl alcohol has many industrial and medical uses, such as a solvent in many manufacturing processes, as antifreeze, antiseptics, and cosmetics.

Wines and other alcoholic beverages such as distillates represent very complex mixtures of aromatic compounds in an ethanol-water mixture. Once an extract or concentrate of the required compounds is prepared, a suitable chromatographic system must be used to allow separation and resolution of the species of interest. Many applications have been developed that use MDGC.

After drinking an alcoholic beverage, a person s BAC rises to a maximum, typically in 30 to 90 minutes, and then drops steadily at the rate of about 0.02% per hour. The maximum BAC depends on the amount of alcohol consumed and the person s body weight. The data cited in Table A are for male subjects females show maximum BACs about 20% higher. Thus a man weighing 60 kg who takes three drinks may be expected to reach a maximum BAC of 0.09% a woman of the same weight consuming the same amount of alcohol may show a BAC of... 

Ethanol, C2H5OH, is responsible for the effects of intoxication felt after drinking alcoholic beverages. When ethanol burns in oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water are produced. 

Microorganisms have been identified and exploited for more than a century. The Babylonians and Sumerians used yeast to prepare alcohol. There is a great history beyond fermentation processes, which explains the applications of microbial processes that resulted in the production of food and beverages. In the mid-nineteenth century, Louis Pasteur understood the role of microorganisms in fermented food, wine, alcohols, beverages, cheese, milk, yoghurt and other dairy products, fuels, and fine chemical industries. He identified many microbial processes and discovered the first principal role of fermentation, which was that microbes required substrate to produce primary and secondary metabolites, and end products.
