About Alcohol

The word alcohol usually refers to ethanol, also known as grain alcohol or spirits of wine, or to any alcoholic beverage.

Ethanol is a colorless, volatile liquid with a mild odor which can be obtained by the fermentation of sugars.

It is the most widely used depressant in the world, and has been for thousands of years.

Ethanol in the form of alcoholic beverages has been consumed by humans since pre-historic times, for a variety of hygienic, dietary, medicinal, religious, and recreational reasons.

The consumption of large doses result in drunkenness or intoxication and, depending on the dose and regularity of use, can cause acute respiratory failure or death and with chronic use has medical repercussions.

Because alcohol impairs judgment, it can often be a catalyst for reckless or irresponsible behavior.
