which is less toxic than the alcohol in beer, since it's impossible to ingest enough alcohol orally to get into the danger range, far beyond the lethal range of the alcohol, itself. Most poisonings with it are intravenous or children getting into the concentrated agent, eating epoxy or polyurethane foam..

I think she can relax. Or brew her own damned beer. And make her own ice cream. Oh, and dog food. Then she'll be too tired to write more rubbish.

The barrels are disinfected by first washing them with clear water and then smoking them with the smoke of burning sulfur.

That burning sensation in your mouth, IT'S SULFURIC ACID.
(Either that or alcohol.)
