Alcohol, or ethyl alcohol (ethanol), refers to the intoxicating ingredient found in wine, beer and hard liquor. Alcohol arises naturally from carbohydrates when certain micro-organisms metabolize them in the absence of oxygen, called fermentation.
Beer, wine and other liquor contain different amounts of alcohol. The amount of alcohol in distilled liquor is known as “proof”. Proof refers to the amount of alcohol in the liquor; for example, 100 proof liquor contains 50% alcohol, 40 proof liquor contains 20% alcohol, and so on. Traditional wine has approximately 8-14% alcohol, while regular beer has 4-6% alcohol.
For moderate drinkers, alcohol does not suppress food intake, and may actually increase appetite. Chronic alcohol consumption appears to have the opposite effect. Alcohol causes euphoria, which depresses appetite, so that heavy drinkers tend to eat poorly and become malnourished.
In summary, alcohol is a concentrated form of energy and can be taken in moderation, perhaps before meals, as it MAY help improve your appetite.

does no longer inevitably stimulate the urge for nutrients notwithstanding the most proper wine makes the nutrients flavor extra constructive. flow for traditional French wines averting NewWorld wines that flavor like a fruity toddler's drrink, inspite of their intense alcohol.
