Alcohol is a drug.

According to all credible sources, the Alcohol in "adult beverages' is Ethyl Alcohol or Ethanol. Yes, that is the same stuff they use for fuel. Of course, you cannot drink gasoline. So most of what you can legally buy is 40 percent ethanol with some REALLY strong stuff being 75-9o according to "How Stuff Works". Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant and one of the most abused DRUGS in America. ALCOHOL IS A DRUG and should be treated as such. Its impact is a direct and destructuve result of impairing the central nervous system. Why would anybody want to deal with that? I know I choose not to.
