	Alcohol
		Alcohol is classified as both a food, due to its high calorie content, and a drug, due to its effects on the body.
		Most of the alcohol you drink is absorbed rapidly into the blood stream and processed by the liver, with a small proportion excreted in the breath, sweat and urine.
		Alcohol impairs your endurance due to its affect on the heart muscle which beats less strongly and your respiration rate may also be slowed and both of these actions will reduce the flow of oxygen to your muscles.

	Rutgers Center of Alcohol Studies --ONLINE FACTS Neuropharmacology of Alcohol
		Alcohol is metabolized by the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase to acetaldehyde, an adrenergic toxin, which in turn is rapidly metabolized by another enzyme, aldehyde dehydrogenase, to acetic acid, and eventually to carbon dioxide and water.
		However, the concentration of alcohol in the human body is a function of the number of grams of alcohol consumed, the amount of body water in the person, and other biological factors, such as absorption and metabolism.
		The degree of alcohol's effects is determined by the concentration in blood, which is influenced by the amount and rate of alcohol consumption, bioavailability due to factors such as rate of absorption, the biotransformation of alcohol, which may be influenced by genetic factors, and drinking experience.

	Alcohol by volume - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Alcohol by volume (ABV) is an indication of how much alcohol (expressed as a percentage) is included in an alcoholic beverage.
		An "alcoholic proof" is roughly twice the alcohol by volume.
		In addition, the relative volume of water and ethanol varies with temperature, and the mixing of water and ethanol produces a less than the combined volume, due to the fact that the ethanol molecules will dissolve somewhat in between the water molecules.

		Another, outdated way of specifying the amount of alcohol is alcoholic proof.
		These quotients are a fair approximation to the real values; since the ingredients change from beverage to beverage, it is impossible to have a universal formula, as the density of the beverage minus alcohol varies.

	10 Alcohol
		In Europe the alcohol content of all alcoholic beverages is indicated in terms of the percent alcohol by volume.
		In the units system used by most of the world, the volume of alcohol and the volume of the drink are understood by the public in the same units (mL), so the volume of alcohol in a drink is readily understood as the volume of the drink times the percent alcohol by volume.

	Alcohol Prohibition Was A Failure
		Alcohol became more dangerous to consume; crime increased and became "organized"; the court and prison systems were stretched to the breaking point; and corruption of public officials was rampant.
		The death rate from alcoholism and cirrhosis also declined rather dramatically in Denmark, Ireland, and Great Britain during World War I, but rates in those countries continued to fall during the 1920s (in the absence of prohibition) when rates in the United States were either rising or stable.
		It should also be noted that death due to alcoholism and cirrhosis is thought to be the result of a long, cumulative process; therefore, the decrease in death rates must, in part, be at tributed to factors at work before the wartime restrictions on alcohol and Prohibition.

	Howstuffworks "How do brewers measure the alcohol in beer?"
		To determine the amount of alcohol in the beer they are making, brewers compare the specific gravity of the beer before it starts fermenting to its specific gravity when it is finished fermenting.

		So to convert from percent alcohol by mass to percent alcohol by volume you just divide by the density of alcohol.
