Methanol (c1) kills the optic nerve when your body metabolises it The cure for methanol is ethanol (c2) good old alcohol Interestingly n-propanol (c3) is 4 times more effective at getting you drunk. It’s also 4 times less toxic but it isn’t produced by brewing with yeast (normally). Although it will make you excrete a flock of sparrows through the eye of a needle Isopropanol on the other hand (hand sanitiser) is twice as toxic as ethanol and metabolises to acetone (nail polish remover), 8 singles (25ml measures) is about the lethal dose.
Miss Brewbird, i was surprised to find gin makers in the UK have to buy 95%ABV spirit from other sources to make their product. could you do a video on a trip to one of these alcohol producers? thanks. A (a Maritimer)
Hi! Those two wars are related to each other, and the time periods which they took place overlap. Please see: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thirty_Years%27_War The 80 year war started in in the 16th century, and the 30 year war started in the 17th century, but yeah perhaps it would have been better to say the 80 year war.
Than you for sharing this lovely video
Thanks for watching
I absolutely love these videos on the history of spirits, I am a home distiller and a huge fan of history, so I really love your your channel
Awesome. Glad you enjoy them! I want to make more of them, they just take a long time to research.
Well, I know your not American but there is loads of interesting history connected to all American spirits, from bourbon to moonshine
Great stuff!
Thanks!😀
I wanna see the video timeline in your editing software for this video! Very interesting history of gin as well
I'll show it to you later.
Nice video! I can tell it took a lot of work.
Good luck with your channel.
Thanks! You too! I can see you are no stranger to making these types of videos.
Interesting! Seems like I read a lively book. I can tell you spent a lot of affords in this video. Thumbs up as usual.

Ooh that's a fun video idea. I'm back in Canada now, but I am working on getting some videos made at different breweries and distilleries here.
Please correct me with the 30 years of war ? I though it was 80 year ? i am so confuse
