where does acohol come from?

Question

i am doing a school project on the dryg and i really need the information.

Answer 1

As far as where is comes from, like how it is made, many alcohols can be created by fermentation of fruits or grains with yeast, but only ethanol is commercially produced this way — chiefly for fuel and drink. Other alcohols are generally produced by synthetic routes from natural gas, petroleum, or coal feed stocks; for example, via acid catalyzed hydration of alkenes.
Several methods exist for the preparation of alcohols in the laboratory.

Answer 2

The discovery of late Stone Age beer jugs has established the fact that intentionally fermented beverages existed at least as early as the Neolithic period (cir. 10,000 B.C.) (Patrick, 1952, pp. 12-13), and it has been suggested that beer may have preceded bread as a staple (Braidwood et al, 1953; Katz and Voigt, 1987); wine clearly appeared as a finished product in Egyptian pictographs around 4,000 B.C. (Lucia, 1963a, p. 216).

The earliest alcoholic beverages may have been made from berries or honey (Blum et al, 1969, p. 25; Rouech6, 1960, p. 8; French, 1890, p. 3) and winemaking may have originated in the wild grape regions of the Middle East. Excavations at Jiahu indicate that alcohol may have been consumed there as early as 9,000 years ago. Oral tradition recorded in the Old Testament (Genesis 9:20) asserts that Noah planted a vineyard on Mt. Ararat. In Sumer, beer and wine were used for medicinal purposes as early as 2,000 B.C. (Babor, 1986, p. 1).

Answer 3

I usually get mine at Wal-mart. But I suppose, you could go to any liquor store in town. Be sure that you are over 21 though.

I need to get some for the Super Bowl Today. Yeah!!!!
Go Colts!!!

Answer 4

Alcohol is made by fermenting sugar to make ethanol (C2H4). Pure alcohol is really dangerous so things are added.
Vodka is made from potatos
Beer is made from hops
Cider is made from apples
Wine is made from grapes
Rum is made from sugar cane.
