introduction

Ethanol is known by many common and technical or chemical names, such as Ethyl Alcohol, drinking alcohol, grain alcohol or simply alcohol.

Ethanol, in alcoholic beverages, is one of the earliest known recreational drugs used by humans. Evidence suggests alcoholic beverages may have been used as much as 9,000 years ago.

With such a long history, it is little wonder that humans have found a myriad of uses for Ethanol.
