A substance (also known as Ethanol , Ethyl alcohol, Grain alcohol) that is naturally produced from fermentation of sugars using yeast in the right
environment.
Alcohol is an
intoxicating chemical that is found in alcoholic beverages, but has uses as an
industrial solvent; a fuel additive or as a fuel on its own; has disinfectant properties in higher concentrations; is a useful cleaning solvent.
Don't worry! alcohol is safe to consume in moderation if it's food grade (as most of you probably know), but it is possible to overdose on alcohol in much larger amounts and it isn't too good for you if you drink it excessively.
Example 1:
Barry: Hey Kim! Would you like a beer?
Kim: Sure, but how much alcohol is in it? as I need to drive home to my kids tonight, ya know?
Barry: Sure! It contains four percent alcohol by volume, is that alright?
Kim: Yeah sure! Just one drink won't hurt, right? as long as I stick to one!
Example 2:
This car should be more
environmentally friendly as it runs on Ethanol instead of Gasoline, as a safer and cleaner fuel
alternative.
