>>>sulfites ----


>>>>Headaches & hangovers. Some of the well-known consequences of drinking too much are headaches, halitosis, fatigue, dizziness and diarrhoea, to name the best known ---- a hangover in other words. These unfortunate consequences are based on clinical trials,
that the effects are not produced by the alcohol per se but by the impurities, the congeners.

Many people find this hard to believe, but the congeners include methanol and amyl alcohol, both of which are quite poisonous. If a different poison were involved, e.g. arsenic, it wouldn't be a bit surprising to find that a 3% solution in water gave you an upset tummy.

One conclusion to be drawn from this is that, if you wish to drink alcohol without any side-effects, remove all the impurities with a fractionating still to produce pure alcohol and then dilute it with water to 40% to give vodka. Then add flavoring.

Oh come on! those damn sulfites again!

The screw cap keeps that out doesn't it?

Do you think they could have put antrax in under the screwcap?
