Re: Questions about alcohol
(Anonymous) 2013-05-20 02:30 am (UTC)(link)Here's what that means. When you're talking about things that aren't liquor, like beer and wine, you're talking about things that are fermented - fermented barley and wheat in the case of beer, fermented fruit in the case of wine. What's happening is that you take some sugary liquid, add some microorganisms (yeast), and end up with a liquid that has ethanol in it - drinkable alcohol. What distillation means is that you take a liquid that's been fermented, you bring it to a boil, collect it in another chamber, and cool it back down to a liquid. And because alcohol and water boil at different temperatures, the resulting liquid is going to have a much higher alcohol content and a much different flavor.
The result is that liquor has a much, much higher alcohol content - where beer might have 5 to 10% alcohol, liquor is usually going to be like 35, 40, 50% alcohol. So it's much more alcoholic, and that means it burns much more and it's not as drinkable, and you drink it in much smaller quantities and often you mix it with other things.
I think people have answered most of the other questions; the only other thing I want to say is that you totally can drink vodka straight, most people just don't because... well, if you want to drink straight liquor, you probably want something with more flavor than vodka. If you do want to drink vodka straight, make it chilled.
