Make it Hard!

OMFD


On todays episode, we're going to learn a little bit about different types of alcohol. I've also decieded I'm going to mention my level of drunkeness. In post, this will be found in the upper right hand corner of the post. And as my drunkeness changed, I'll post it as I go. "S = Sober, OMFD = On My First Drink, ALB = A Little Buzzed, B = Buzzed, D = Drunk, IWRTT = I Won't Remember This Tomorrow"

Pinky up everyone! Lets get ready to drink!

Whiskeyis a type of distilled alcoholic beverage made from fermented grain mash. Different grains are used for different varieties, including barleymalted barleyrye, malted rye, wheat, and corn. Whisky is typically aged in wooden casks, made generally of charred white oak.
So, it's made from grains!

I think I'll be getting most of the info from Wikipedia. If I get it from somewhere else, I'll add a link and whatnot. I mean, everything on Wiki/the internet is 100% accurat and truthful(sarcasm)

ALB

Rumis a distilled alcoholic beverage made from sugarcane byproducts such as molasses, or directly from sugarcane juice, by a process of fermentation and distillation. The distillate, a clear liquid, is then usually aged in oak barrels.
So, it's made from sugarcane!

I keep seeing the word "distilled." Wikipedia, what's that word mean? 

Distillation;  is a method of separating mixtures based on differences in volatilities of components in a boiling liquid mixture. Distillation is a unit operation, or a physical separation process, and not a chemical reaction.

Umm, yeah?! I still don't understand that. I'm sure if I watch Moonshiners, It'll explain it all! But anyway, lets move on...

B


Ginis a spirit which derives its predominant flavour from juniper berries (Juniperus communis). From its earliest beginnings in the Middle Ages, gin has evolved over the course of a millennium from an herbal medicine to an object of commerce in the spirits industry. Today, the gin category is one of the most popular and widely distributed range of spirits, and is represented by products of various origins, styles, and flavor profiles that all revolve around juniper as a common ingredient.
This one kind of confused me! Soooo, it's made of berries?  

Vodka; is made by the distillation of fermented substances such as grainspotatoes, or sometimes fruits and/or sugar.
So, it's made from anything? But normally potatoes.


Well, that's it for today everyone. Happy pooping! I think I'll end all my post with that...Happy Pooping!

Oh yeah, I've been drinking Gin and Tonic while writing this. It's not my usual thing, but why not try something new?
