A Must Read Guide To Everything Alcohol

Whether we are talking of alcohol as an industry, something that college kids drink in excess or trying to figure out one of the slangs, this guide will cover everything. Here’s the breakdown of this alcohol guide and what to expect in the following paragraphs :

The Most Expensive Alcohols

1. The $54,000 Rum : The Wray and Nephew Rum that was displayed at Rumfest, Europe’s first Rum festival has been dubbed the most expensive rum of all time. This bottle of rum, made by the Jamaican distillers was one of the four unopened bottles at the time. It was bottled back in 1940. The reason this rum became so rare is because the supply ran out following the then famous Mai Tai cocktail (1934) which used 17 year old Wray and Nephew Rum. The managing director of the Rum Festival at the time said that it was too tempting to leave it unopened. We are not sure if it has been opened yet.
2. The $75,000 Whisky (Whiskey) : Before I write any more on this section I apologize to anyone who might take offense to me using the word “whiskey” instead of “whisky.” It is just a personal preference. Anyway, for a whooping $75,000 dollar The Macallan 1926 Fine and Rare steals the show as the most expensive whiskey of all time, at least at the moment. You certainly won’t be able to find this particular whiskey at your local bar or the liquor store.
3. The $225,000 Tequila: The highest amount ever paid for a bottle of tequila is $225,000. The platinum and gold plated bottle of Ultra Premium Tequila Ley .925 was bought at an auction in Mexico city in 2006. The tequila in the gold and platinum plated bottle is triple-distilled mix of 8-, 10- and 12-year-old agave plants and is produced by Hacienda La Capilla Distillery in Los Altos, Jalisco.
4. The $275,000 Wine : With a price tag of $160,000 1787 Chateau Lafitteis is considered to be the most expensive wine of all time. The bottle originally belonged to the US President, Thomas Jefferson whose initials are etched into the bottle. Thomas Jefferson was an avid wine collector and some lucky (rich) wine collector paid $160,000. Besides the age, Thomas Jefferson’s initials etched into this bottle made it even more of a rare find and is considered to be the most expensive wine ever bought and sold.
5. The $1,060,000 Vodka : When it comes to vodka, the first thing that comes to mind is Russia. Surprisingly, the most expensive vodka comes from the lands of Scotland. The Diva Vodka is the world’s most expensive vodka which almost looks like a perfume bottle. Every bottle of the Diva vodka contains precious and semi-precious stones, including diamonds.The vodka is triple distilled and then passed through a sand of crushed diamonds and other gems.
6. The $2,000,000 Cognac : Well, seems like cognac which is considered to be one of the most expensive drinks in the world takes the crown. Henri IV Dudognon Heritage which costs around $2,000,000 is the most expensive alcohol in the world. This particular cognac was aged for 100 years in barrels that were air dried for five years before use. The final product is 41% alcohol (82 proof). Besides the content, the bottle itself has quite a few characteristic. The bottle is dipped in 24k gold and sterling platinum and adorned with 6,500 brilliant cut diamonds.

Alcohol Myths

1. Beer Belly : Studies have shown that beer belly isn’t exactly caused by drinking beer. A recent study that followed 20,000 beer drinkers ( 7876 men and 12,749 women ) showed that although heavy drinkers will put on weight it isn’t necessarily around the “beer belly” area. Scientists have claimed that beer belly is purely the results of genetics and has nothing to do with drinking too many beer.
2. Alcohol raises body temperature : Although many people think drinking alcohol raises body temperature, this is far from true. Drinking alcohol actually lowers your body temperature and too much alcohol in very cold weather can even cause hypothermia.
3. Heavy meal helps you stay sober : It is believed that eating a heavy meal before drinking will help one stay sober. This is a myth. The fact is that eating a heavy meal will slow the process of alcohol absorption into the bloodstream. Heavy meal isn’t really a prevention against getting drunk.
4. I can handle more than you : I am sure most of you have heard or said that and felt quite proud of yourself while seeing the other person not being able to handle it. There are many factors that affect a person’s reaction to alcohol and due to this some can tolerate more than others. Some factors are body weight, metabolism and gender among many others.
5. I am alcohol free : Think again. Every human being naturally produces alcohol in their body 24 hours a day. From the time of birth until death, even if you have never drank alcohol, you can’t really call yourself alcohol free.
6. Coffee helps you sober up : Drinking coffee won’t help you sober up. The only thing that can help you sober up is time. It is said that it takes approximately one hour to eliminate the alcohol in one drink from the body. Coffee will not help you sober up faster. The only thing that coffee will do is make you a wide awake drunk.
7. Alcohol boosts performance in bed : It is widely considered that drinking alcohol helps boost ones sexual performance. However, this is a myth. The depressant action of alcohol lowers inhibitions. Drinking lowers your sexual performance as it does with any other activity.
8. It’s the mixture that got me drunk : The main thing one needs to realize is – alcohol is alcohol. It’s the Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) that determines how sober or drunk you are. A standard drink of beer, wine, or spirits contains equivalent amounts of alcohol.You were drunk last night not cause you switched drinks but cause you drank too much.
9. Tequila bottles have worms in it : It’s not tequila that has worm in it, it is mescal. Besides, what’s in mescal isn’t really a worm, it is a butterfly caterpillar which is know as gurano.
10. Alcohol kills brain cells :And finally, the age old myth that alcohol destroys your brain cell is nothing but a myth. It has actually been said that alcohol in moderation improves cognitive functioning.

Alcohol Prohibition Timeline

Prohibition or The Noble Experiment became extremely unpopular in the later years. As a result Eighteenth Amendment was repealed with ratification of the Twenty-first Amendment to the United States Constitution.

The 18th Amendment To The United States Constitution :

Section 1. After one year from the ratification of this article the manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors within, the importation thereof into, or the exportation thereof from the United States and all territory subject to the jurisdiction thereof for beverage purposes is hereby prohibited.

1. 1657 - The sale of strong liquor was made illegal by the General Court of Massachusetts.
2. 1784 – People from the medical field started looking for explanation. One of the foremost physician of the 18th century, Dr. Benjamin Rush argued that excessive drinking was hazardous to physical and psychological health. However, he believe in moderation rather than prohibition.

11. 1893 – Anti-Saloon League was founded in Oberlin, Ohio.

14. 1912 – By this time alcohol was outlawed in nine states
15. 1917 – The 65th Congress convened in which the Democratic dries outnumbered the wets by 140 to 64 and 138 to 62 among Republicans. A resolution calling for an amendment to accomplish nationwide Prohibition was introduced in Congress and passed by both houses in December
16. 1919 – The amendment was ratified by thirty six of the forty eight states. On October 28 the amendment was supplemented by the Volstead Act (Named after Andrew Volstead, who reinforced the prohibition of alcohol in the United States of America)
17. 1920- Prohibition began on January 16 when the 18th Amendment went into effect. Special law officers known as Federal Prohibition Officers were asked to enforce the law
18. 1921 – Congress held hearings on the medicinal value of beer and physicians across the country lobbied for the repeal of prohibition since the law prohibited medicinal liquors as well.
19. 1933 – On March 23rd President Franklin Roosevelt signed an amendment to the Volstead Act known as the Cullen-Harrison Act, allowing the manufacture and sale of “3.2 beer” (3.2% alcohol by weight, approximately 4% alcohol by volume) and light wines. After signing he made the famous remark “I think this would be a good time for a beer.” The Cullen-Harrison Act became law on April 7th.
20. December 5th, 1933 The Eighteenth Amendment was repealed on December 5, 1933 with ratification of the Twenty-first Amendment

The Twenty-First Amendment to The United States Constitution

Section 3. This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by conventions in the several States, as provided in the Constitution, within seven years from the date of the submission hereof to the States by the Congress.

After the Prohibition the first drink that was legally sold was in Utica Club of the F.X. Matt’s Brewery in Utica, New York.

College Drinking (Perception Vs. Facts)

Percentage of College Freshmen who drink beer is record low since tracking began in 1966. Freshmen who drank beer in 2008 is down by 21% in comparison to freshmen in 2000.

Surprisingly Freshmen don’t party as much in comparison to previous years. Freshmen who spent six hours or more partying in a typical week is down by 49%, which again is a record low level since tracking began.

Another factor that is most associated with college students and drinking is Spring Break. The result shows that 70% of college students who were surveyed spent their last spring break with their families. The graph below shows how students spent their last spring break.

When these students were asked what they planned to do during their next spring break, only 35% chose to party at a beach and the rest chose to study, spend time with their family, do volunteer work, etc.

According to a survey conducted by National College Health Assessment, 80% of college students chose to have a designated driver after partying or socialzing events. The survey also showed that the reality is different than what we think it is when it comes to college students drinking.

Alcohol Advertising Myths

1. By the time kids are 18, they will have seen 100,000 beer ads : Oregon’s first lady, Mary Oberst, spoke about this, feeding a myth that strikes fear into the hearts of every parent. The myth, that the average young American will have seen 100,000 commercials for beer between the ages of 2 and 18, defies logic but still won’t go away. For this statement to be true, a child would have to see an average of more than 17 beer commercials per day. Despite being possible, this is highly unlikely and goes against common sense.
2. Alcohol advertising increases alcohol consumption : A study by Dr. John P. Nelson of Pennsylvania State University and Dr. Douglas J. Young of Montana State University shows that alcohol advertising does not have an effect on alcohol consumption. The results of this study are consistent with the findings of virtually all other research that has been done on this subject. As much sense as it might seem to make, it is the consensus among researchers that this myth is just that: a myth.
3. Alcohol advertising is aimed at underaged children : In a report the Federal Trade Commission gave to Congress, they stated that their investigation “found no evidence of targeting underage consumers.” The Roper Youth Report discovered that 71% of youth say their parents most influence their decisions to drink or not drink. Also found by the Roper studies was that the proportion of youth who feel that alcohol ads influenced their drinking decisions has barely changed. Over time, it has ranged from 2% to 5%. All research points to alcohol advertising being aimed at adults.
4. Alcohol producers advertise to get people to drink more : Alcohol producers know that their advertising doesn’t increase consumption of their products. They are privy to the research that shows that there is no increase. Makers of alcoholic beverages advertise to increase their market share and promote their brand. Alcohol producers put the focus on their brand’s qualities, such as taste, flavor, variety, etc. to encourage consumers to choose their brand over that of their competitors. While no one in the alcohol industry is going to turn away a new customer, their main focus isn’t on “recruiting” new consumers. It’s on getting more customer loyalty than the competition.
