5 unexpected scientific truth about alcohol

Yes, alcohol is an antiseptic and tannin in the wine good for the heart. Even pharmaceutical books, America and Europe also noted alcohol is a drug cure. In his book "Manual of useful drugs" are State Medical Examining and Licensing Boards published piece:

"Essentially, (ethanol) is a poison, used an overdose will cause the stagnation and paralysis of the central nervous system. If used with a small dose will cause excitement status, respiratory irritation, mild dilation of the blood vessels of the skin and internal organs, adjust the cycle ... Alcohol is used as diffusion stimulant, diuretic, diaphoretic and cause drowsiness. "

Besides, alcohol also acts as a solvent for pharmaceutical manufacturing. Of course, don't celebrate by not all wines are. Overall, alcohol still cause more harm than good.

2. Alcohol can catch fire at any time

Previously, if want to try alcohol and alcoholic content of real or fake in whiskey, people often pour a little wine up gunpowder. If whiskey making gunpowder ignited, which means it has reached "high levels". By Convention, the standard concentration of approximately 100 is equivalent to about 49.5% of alcohol in wine. However, today this fire points also have a bit changed-i.e. just the alcohol caught fire, rather than the need to maintain the flame of fire.

In theory, a liquid alcohol doesn't burn. The fire appears to be due to gases of ethanol. The higher the standard concentration depending on the temperature, it will create as much water vapor. For example, when to 1 sticks near 40 degrees vodka, the sticks do not catch fire. But when put 1 small flames closer, it will suddenly flare up. This was due to the fire did the wine to heat up and vaporize. Or if you carefully warming vodka at high temperature, it will catch fire and burn violently. Only a small note is don't be foolish to do this at home if you do not want to blow correct tan.

The ability to catch fire of alcohol decreases according to the alcohol and heat. Therefore, the chef still pour the wine into the pan a bit hot to make the flame flared up a spectacular way whether they have only 12 degrees. In contrast, even up to 100% pure ethanol, then the solution still can not fire if it is just at the threshold of heat 12 degrees Celsius or lower.

3. There are approximately 4 x 10 ^ 24 cocktail are floating in space

In 2006, the astronomers started looking for the giant alcohol cloud traveled in the Milky Way Galaxy. They really are very large by some clouds have a diameter of approximately 288 billion miles. Unfortunately, most of them are made from methanol. On Earth, methanol is a byproduct created from the distillation process, and also very toxic.  So, the good wine production plant often find ways to eliminate a maximum methanol out of its products. During the period of prohibition of alcohol in cooking (1920-1933), there were many people died by the hands of illicit liquor to raw products in methanol distillation, because for the price cheaper and also easy to make. Even, according to some of the comments, not the do not remove, the bootleg alcohol also for adding methanol to make booze more sonorous when open.

However that even when outside of the universe is still very much ethanol. More is how much? No one can know for sure, but according to the calculation, there are about more than 4 x 10 ^ 24 ounce of ethanol. In other words, it's the equivalent of 4 male female male female wine glass. Scientists are still looking for the answer for the role of clouds and answer why they are present in the universe. There's a theory that they played an important role in the formation of the stars. Hear well or have you?

4. Alcohol reduces body heat

Have you ever felt very cold and decided to click 1 SIP of brandy to warm the body? Feeling really great, isn't it? But if you think that alcohol raises the body temperature then you have the wrong to right. The fact completely backwards. The feel warmer than merely the trick of the brain for the body only!

When the temperature drops, the blood will quickly move away from the skin to maintain the internal temperature and ensure the operation of the vital organs. Alcohol makes the blood vessels dilate body surface, which helps the blood circulation. But when the blood goes through the skin is cold, the temperature of the blood decreases drag which is the loss of body heat. More dangerous, the situation grew so long, we can even be fatal.

5. A bottle of champagne has 3 times the tire pressure

A bottle of champagne appears small but again suffered a massive pressure inside-up to 6 kg/cm2. For ease of visualization, the more the pressure of tires by about 2 kg/cm2. Therefore, the bottle has a metal bottle button ligaments to prevent them from being turned off when moving.

When champagne appears for the first time, placed the nickname "le vin du diable", means "the Devil's wine" by opening wine, bottle cap will magnify spurts out. So the pressure in the bottle of champagne come from? The answer is simple: the process of fermentation. It has been proven that, champagne corks can be ejected with the speed of 20 m/s, so please be careful when opening the champagne by them can make you blind eyes as play.=
