Document Summary
Responsibility of atheists to protect the freedom of religion. When talking about alcohol we are talking about types not general. Eating of sugars by microorganism (yeast, bacteria, mold) Mid 1800s we knew for sure that it was microorganisms. Before than we didn"t know what made alcohol. If you concentrate ethanol so there"s less water - distillation. Heat it, it will evaporate at lower temp than water. This is why just fermented beverages are lower abv (5% abv is 50% water. Proof = alcohol by volume times 2. There are things that are 151 etc. Long term exposure will change body chemistry. Genetic code that all apes share is genetic predisposition to addiction to ethanol. As the creatures are evolving into bipeds, they have available not just tree fruit but ground fruit and those will be fermenting. Not only alcohol is inherent in our species. But 10 million years our ape ancestors have had relationship w alcohol.
