    3. Alcohol is something you might drink. Alcohol is also something doctors' sterilize their equipment with. That's odd, don't you think?

          In the U.S., there's a differentiation (I think I said that wrong. No, I'm not drinking)
          between Scotch and Whiskey. They taste different. But, Scotch is a type of whiskey, huh ?

          Scotch is the original usage for the real Scots Whisky (without an "e")

          Scotch is one variety of whiskey, MCM. Jack Daniels is another, if I'm not mistaken, and I'm sure there are others.

          Yep.A couple of guys over here died after drinking their own moonshine just last year.True story.Ammendment:_ 3 young guys have died & one is still in a critical condition.Methanol poisoning from drinking home made Grappa.Oddly the best treatment for this type of poisoning is Vodka.Intrvenously or orally.

            It was prob just an excuse for the doctors to use it to drink in the scrub room. Hahahahah.
            And they actually use to give alchohol to people for an anesthetic before the days of anesthesia.
            I'd rather have a free bottle in front of me than a pre-frontal lobotomy ;-)

            There's different types of alcohol.  ethanol we drink Denatured Alcohol has an additive that makes it unfit to drink.  Isopropyl (rubbing alcohol) Methonol.  Even Acetone. We can run our cars on it, clean and sterilize with it, Von Braun used it as rocket fuel, and we can get drunk on it.   one of the most versatile liquid products in the world.  :)


            To make alcohol legal to sell for medicinal purpose the manufacturer must put additives to it that a terrible taste to drink, otherwise, people would be killing themselves with 97% alcohol that sells for a 80 cents per pint.
