Hard liquor

Encouraging a limit on alcohol consumption, because alcohol (beer, wine, and other hard liquors) is high in calories. 

DETAILS - A crude extract of hemlock was used by the ancient Greeks to execute enemies of the state. Plato s description of the death of Socrates is a very detailed account of the symptoms and their progression. Pure coniine has a burning taste similar to low-grade hot sauce and a characteristic odor which should be masked. Hard liquor or pungent spicy foods are best for this. Coniine poisoning is a relatively painless process, but takes several hours and the victim is conscious and aware to the very end. 

There are 9.6 grams of alcohol in 1 ounce (30ml) of 80-proof (40% alcohol) hard liquor, 13.4 grams of alcohol in one 12-ounce can of beer (average alcohol content of 4.67%), and 11.4 grams of alcohol in a 4-ounce glass of wine (average alcohol content of 12%). A 150-pound male who consumes one can of beer over a short time period will have a BAG of approximately 0.029%. A 150-pound female who consumes one can of beer over the same time period will have a BAG of approximately 0.036%. 

Legalize drugs by subjecting them to exactly the same rules that alcohol and cigarettes are subjected to now. Television advertising is forbidden today for alcohol [and] for hard liquor. And I say treat this the same way as you would treat alcohol. So presumably such ads would be forbidden for this.- ... 

To most people, alcohol is the strong stuff in beer, wine, and hard liquor. But to a chemist, this is just one of many alcohols. 

Lower in alcohol concentration than wine and hard liquor... 

Volstead Act, passed by the U.S. Congress, defines intoxicating liquor as any beverage that contained as much as 0.5% alcohol (thus including beer as well as hard liquor). 

Alcohol leaves the body through a process of elimination and oxidation. The liver removes alcohol from the blood and causes the alcohol to break down into water and carbon dioxide gas. The carbon dioxide gas leaves the body through the lungs, and the water is eliminated in urine. It takes the liver about one hour to process a glass of wine, one to two hours to process hard liquor, and about two hours to process a glass of beer. If large quantities of alcohol are present in the body, the liver has to work overtime to break it down and eliminate it from the body. 

Grass is to hashish or charas as beer and wine are to hard liquor. As in the case of distilled spirits, some care is needed in the preparation of this strengthened Cannabis product. 

The patient had observed a gradual decrease over time of both frequency and intensity of acute attacks and therefore did not pursue a systematic diagnostic workup. On further inquiry, the patient admitted to substantial, continuous alcohol consumption over the last 20 years of about 2-3 L of beer per day (on weekends and special occasions even more) as well as hard liquor. He did, however, abstain from alcohol during acute attacks. Thus, his mean daily consumption can be estimated as about 120 g pure alcohol. Moreover, the patient was a heavy smoker, smoking 20-30 cigarettes per day for nearly 30 years. 

Whiskey or Other hard liquor less than I 1-2 3-4 5 or more drinks per day... 

The alcoholic solution that results from fermentation contains only 12-15% alcohol, because yeast cells cannot survive higher concentrations. Distillation increases the alcohol concentration to about 40-50% (80 to 100 proof ) for hard liquors. Distillation of ethanol-water solutions cannot increase the ethanol concentration above 95% because a solution of 95% ethanol and 5% water boils at a lower temperature (78.15 °C) than either pure water (100 °C) or pure ethanol (78.3 °C). Such a mixture of liquids that boils at a lower temperature than either of its components is called a minimum-boiling azeotrope. 

Pretty soon a group of my high-school friends and I got into regular weekend parties where we d get drunk (usually on hard liquor] and... 

Chronic alcoholism is the major cause of folate deficiency in the United States. Alcoholics generally have poor diets — for example, one liter of whiskey per day. It is not dear if the alcohol induces metabolic defects that interfere with the metabolism and function of folate. Beer docs contain folate, as this product is brewed with yeast, an organism containing high levels tif the vitamin. Wine and hard liquors, on the other hand, contain little or no folate. The elderly may also be at risk for folate deficiency. It is thought that in the elderly the deficiency is due to poor diets rather than age-related defects in the absorption and utilization of folate. 

Alcohol is usually imbibed in liquid forms such as beer, wine, brandy, and hard liquor, etc. The type of alcohol commonly consumed is known as ethanol. It is rapidly and efficiently absorbed into the bloodstream from the stomach, small intestine, and colon. Recent studies have suggested that women have a more efficient absorption than men. In the bloodstream, alcohol is distributed to all parts of the body, including the fetus(es) of pregnant women. Alcohol is metabolized in the liver and converted to acetaldehyde by the action of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and other oxidizing agents at a relatively constant rate. 

Other organic families contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Methyl alcohol (wood alcohol) and ethyl alcohol (grain alcohol) are the most common members of the alcohol family. Methyl alcohol is used to make other organic compounds and as a solvent (a substance that dissolves other substances). Ethyl alcohol is used for many of the same purposes. It is also the alcohol found in beer, wine, and hard liquor, such as whiskey and vodka. 

Alcohol virtually always is drunk in one of the three major classes of alcoholic beverages beer, wine, and hard liquor (also called distilled spirits). For their manufacture, all these beverages depend on the process of fermentation, and hard liquor on the further process of distillation. Fermentation begins when sugar is dissolved in water... 

Combining data for all three U pes of alcoholic beverages masks some important differences, however. A more precise look at the per capita consumption decline in the 1980s to the mid-1990s reveals that it was due largely to a reduction in the use of hard liquor. In ftict, the Lakins ct al. (2005) report showed that in 1995 the per capita consumption of alcohol from hard liquor was at its lowest point since 1939. From 1995 to 2003, there were slight increases in the consumption of wine and hard liquor, and beer stayed about the same. 

Alcohol virtually always is drunk in the form of three major classes of alcoholic beverages beer, wine, and hard liquor (also called distilled spirits). 

Overall consumption figures mask beverage differences. Consumption of hard liquor has dropped the most overall since 1980, with slight reductions in beer and wine consumption. 

All products derived from plants are lawful for Muslim consumption except when hazardous or fermented. Alcoholic beverages such as wine, beer, and hard liquors are strictly prohibited. Foods containing added amounts of alcohol are also prohibited because such foods by definition become impure. 

In the Glucoprocesseur (Tacussell, France), interference by reducing substances is compensated for by using a difference measurement technique. The analyzer has been used for assaying glucose, lactate, and oxalate in foodstuffs (Coulet, 1987). The alcohol analyzer from YSI (U S A) is applicable to the analysis of hard liquor. The enzyme membrane used has a poor working stability, however. 

Applejack is the product resulting from the distillation of fermented apple must. Hence, in general, the same considerations apply to the manufacture of applejack as to that of grape brandy, and the same processes are used. It should be noted in particular that the definition just stated differs from the popular impression of applejack as the unfrozen liquid removed from the core of a barrel of frozen cider. The product of this latter process would not only contain the alcohol of the cider, but also all its other dissolved substances and would be quite unpalatable. As far as any passable applejack is concerned, only that made by distillation need be considered, although it is possible that isolated farmers may in some few cases make their hard liquor in the more primitive fashion. 

The alcohol content of hard liquor is normally given in terms of the proof, which is defined as twice the percentage by volume of ethanol (C2H5OH) present. Calculate the number of grams of alcohol present in 1.00 L of 75-proof gin. The density of ethanol is 0.798 g/mL. 

The author also observes that coffee, unlike hard liquor or narcotics which intoxicate and numb the senses, appears to combine the pleasant sensations of the two kinds while stimulating the intelligence instead of dulling it. Economic considerations reappear in the conclusions to this study ... 

The data published by the Department of Commerce in the Statistical Abstract of the United States reflect a different picture. The average annual per capita consumption of hard liquor from 1910 to 1914, inclusive, was 1.46 proof gallons.
