NO WAY DUDE!!!
An alcohol has an hydroxyl group attached to a hydrocarbon chain ........is neutral in nature!
Any regular beer averages 5 % alcohol only! Rest is water. So if u r giving beer to any plant.......it has feeble alcohol content!
Its a bonsai plant(preferably)....why do you need to feed beer to it?
But never feed it acid (any type inorganic or organic)......it will die certainly!
Although you can try feeding beer!.....don't think it'll be bad for the plant!!!

The Alcohol is no Acid but if u take the Drink like Wine or Beer there is Acid in it but its a natural Acid and it doesn´t do Anything to your health. You can feed a tree with beer but after a while the tree will be drunken.
Sorry for my bad english i am just a german.

It mixes with water, so it is neutral far as acidic or basic goes. Often the mix that is used or the not pure part of what you get in a bottle may be a little acidic. (Like Lime flavored vodka)
It is rare that you get even close to 100% pure alcohol. Most hard liquors are around 80 proof which would be less than 50% pure alcohol. I think you can feed all of your beer to your money tree as long as you don't drown it.

no dude...even tho it can sometimes taste like battery acid if u drink gem clear straight lol...an alcohol is it's own functional group and acid is another group. alcohol just means it has an -OH (oxygen hydrogen) connected to an organic carbon. an acid is something that donates a hydrogen really well, and the -OH from alcohol doesn't typically do that. Instead it reacts by receiving another H and turning into h2o (water) and leaving as a leaving group in a dehydration reaction. by the way....alcohol is freaking awesome and i'm a little bit tipsy right now lol...but yea i'm an biochem major so yea...drink alcohol not acid

no alcohol is an alcohol however if you let it sit in the open air it will oxidize which will then turn it into an acid acetic acid specifically better known as vinegar

no alcohol is not acid.
Alcohol have the chemical formula c2h5oh (ethyl alcohol) CH3oh (methyl alcohol) -OH indicates alcohol.
acids are classified as organic acids or inorganic acids
eg inorganic acids(H2so4 sulphuric acid, HCL hydrochloric Acid)
organic acids(Formic acid (methanoic acid) – HCOOH,
Butyric acid (butanoic acid) – CH3CH2CH2COOH)

Bases are bitter, whereas acids are sour. Beer is a base.
