Title: Ethanol turned into food-grade alcohol
Post by: Tyball on August 28, 2006, 04:20:12 PM

Now that ethanol has become common in gas tanks, two Iowa State University professors are working to get it into martini glasses. (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060827/ap_on_sc/ethanol_more_than_fuel;_ylt=AlO1r58ZUybKN9Z1s3xmvE4DW7oF;_ylu=X3oDMTBhZDhxNDFzBHNlYwNtZW5ld3M-)

How the hell did these guys get to be professors? Ethanol was present in drinking vessels a loong time before it got into gas tanks! Duh! :doh:

I assume you never drink alcoholic beverages then? The alcohol in those is  ethanol (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethanol) you know...
