christmas warning

Now, I don't want to get technical or anything either, but alcohol isn't a solution kids. Ethanol, in its pure form, is a liquid compound. However, if we drank it like that we would most probably go blind and very quickly need another liver.

I guess the board is correct in some respects though, since the ethanol content in most alcoholic beverages varies from 4 or 5% for your typical beers, about 12% for wine, up to 40% for spirits like whiskey and brandy. And then there's absinthe, that mental people drink. The rest is made up of mainly water and assorted flavourings and other dissolved chemicals, thereby making alcoholic drinks the aforementioned 'solution'.
