Inequivalence of differing alcoholic beverages
editOf course, alcoholic beverages are not strictly equivalent. Depending on what is fermented, and whether and how it is distilled/fortified/etc., there will be varying proportions of ethanol, methanol, fusols, esters.... This will affect the subjective overall drug feel, level of improvement or impairment, and the recovery time to a nonintoxicated state.
This and related articles should address this but I do not feel sufficiently toxicated to edit it proficiently.
Please assist if you can.
Particularly valuable would be any cited evidence showing how the most common beverages (beers, wines, distilled liquors) compare in their effects on intellectual or social or motor skills, or short- or long-term health. -- Parsiferon (talk) 19:45, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
