Alcohol

Alcohol is ethanol or ethyl alcohol found in beer, wine, and spirits. It is formed through the fermentation of sugars by yeast without oxygen. In small amounts, alcohol quickly enters the bloodstream through the mouth and stomach. However, if food is present in the stomach, absorption is slower. There are many reasons why people drink alcohol, such as stress reduction, self-medication for other problems, and as a way to cope with isolation. The earliest evidence of distilled spirits appeared in China around 1000 BC, while the first beers were produced in ancient Egypt between 5000-6000 BC. Excessive alcohol consumption has many negative health effects and has contributed to around 50% of deaths in Russia each year.
