Ethanol both "GOOD" & "BAD"

Ethanol, also called ethyl alcohol or grain alcohol, is present in varying amounts in beers and wines. It is also found in distilled liquors such as whisky, gin an rum. It is produced by the natural process of fermentation.

Alcohol mainly utilizes our body for heat production.
