The Philosophy of Alcohol

Within the context of this library, alcohol is to be understood as a substance that is manufactured from agricultural products. The substance of alcohol is typically seen in liquid form, and it is ingested within the same contexts and mediums that liquid substances are seen in - like water or coffee. Alcohol can be made from grapes, corn, oranges, pears, and other fruits and vegetables with the whole of the array being processed along with sugar and yeast to produce the substance of alcohol in the liquid. Starting with water, different ingredients are added in, and in the mixture that is usually heated, sugar and yeast are placed inside, so as to conduct the reaction which allows for alcohol to form within the liquid mixture. Depending on what is being made, the amount of time varies, but the process is one that sees the different ingredients, sugars, and yeast mixtures converted into alcohol within the mediating element of water which is present as a main ingredient. The sugars which are present in the reaction are converted by the alcohol and any ingredients or foods housing other sugars or flavors are incorporated into the chemical reaction as well. Generally, it is consumed as a beverage, and as a festive good, it is shared among family and friends to warm the body through processes of "circulatory sweetening". As a recapitulation, alcohol is made from converting sugars and foods into form with yeast wherein the resulting substance is one of a variantly sweet combination of many flavors.
