Poison doesn't necessarily kill you, it makes you sick.POLAND_SPUD wrote:why is it a poison?? I've personally drunk 95% alcohol and I am still alive... and I know people who do it on a regular basis... does that 5% more make such a big difference ??100% alcohol is poison
So beer is also poison?Poison doesn't necessarily kill you, it makes you sick.
There was a big news report about an incident a couple of years ago. It's called water poisoning, water intoxication, hyponatremia. Your body loses its electrolytic balance and you die.psycix wrote:So beer is also poison?Poison doesn't necessarily kill you, it makes you sick.
If you drink alot of demineralized water (100% water, no minerals or salts) you will also die because your body will pee out all the water along with minerals while not receiving minerals.
It's not the beer that is the poison, it is the alcohol which is poison. That's like saying the apple which is filled with cyanide is the poison, not the cyanide itself.So beer is also poison
The above if from wikipedia. Other ingredients are also used but methanol is one of the primary ones! anti freeze is sometimes drunk in poor countries or in countries which are cold to "marm up", Russia being a good example.Methanol, also known as methyl alcohol, carbinol, wood alcohol, wood naphtha or wood spirits, is a chemical compound with chemical formula CH3OH (often abbreviated MeOH). It is the simplest alcohol, and is a light, volatile, colourless, flammable, poisonous liquid with a distinctive odor that is somewhat milder and sweeter than ethanol (ethyl alcohol). At room temperature it is a polar liquid and is used as an antifreeze, solvent, fuel, and as a denaturant for ethyl alcohol. It is not very popular for machinery, but it can be found in automotive windshield washer fluid, de-icers, and gasoline additives to name a few.
Up to some extent, everything is a projectile!"Up to some extent, everything is poison"
Same as saying everything gives you cancer (well probably not everything).
Yep, they even drink stuff like jet fuel.anti freeze is sometimes drunk in poor countries or in countries which are cold to "marm up", Russia being a good example.
