Regular Sprite contains 0% alcohol (0.0% ABV), as it's a non-alcoholic lemon-lime soft drink, but some natural fermentation can leave trace amounts (like 0.05%), and there are new alcoholic versions (like Absolut Vodka & Sprite). Be sure to check the label, as some older or specialty products might list very low percentages, and alcoholic mixed versions exist.
0.5% ABV is legally considered non-alcoholic because our body metabolises that amount of alcohol faster than we can feel any effect.
7UP 250ml Can is a perfect drink for parties, trips, and gatherings. It is non-alcoholic and delights anyone who consumes it.
Regular beer: 5% alcohol by volume. Some light beers: 4.2% alcohol by volume. Some craft beers: 10% alcohol by volume.
A 70% alcohol drink refers to a spirit with 70% alcohol by volume (ABV), typically high-proof liquors like Absinthe, strong Vodka (such as Rasputin), or other potent distillates like strong Grappa, often used in cocktails needing a strong backbone or for traditional European digestifs, but always consumed cautiously due to their extreme strength.
Yes, 200 proof alcohol (absolute ethanol) exists and is essentially 100% pure ethanol (around 99.5%), but it's not the drinking alcohol you buy; it's used in labs, industry, and for making extracts because it's anhydrous (water-free) and highly potent, often requiring denaturing (making it undrinkable) for general sale, though food/lab grades are available for specific uses.
70% alcohol or antiseptics, in general, should only be used to clean superficial wounds with infection. On the other hand, open or deep wounds should not be treated with antiseptics during care. This is because, while antiseptics can kill harmful bacteria, they can also damage the surrounding healthy tissue.
The 1-2-3 drinking rule is a guideline for moderation: 1 drink per hour, no more than 2 drinks per occasion, and at least 3 alcohol-free days each week, helping to pace consumption and stay within safer limits. It emphasizes pacing alcohol intake with water and food, knowing standard drink sizes (12oz beer, 5oz wine, 1.5oz spirits), and avoiding daily drinking to reduce health risks, though some health guidance suggests even lower limits.

Port and other sweet fortified wines at 20% alcohol are ideal for getting drunk quick. Also the other muck in alcoholic drink, the congeners, tannins etc., all determine the particular effect on the drinker. This is why mixing your drinks can be a bad idea.
There's no single "#1 unhealthiest soda," as different sodas rank poorly for different reasons (sugar, dyes, acids), but Mountain Dew often appears at the top due to its high sugar, high acidity (citric acid), and artificial dyes (Yellow 5), creating a "perfect storm" for tooth decay and enamel erosion, while dark sodas like Cola are high in potentially concerning caramel coloring and caffeine. Ultimately, any soda high in sugar, acidic, and artificially colored is extremely unhealthy, making dark and bright yellow/orange sodas generally the worst offenders, according to health experts.
It is hard to think that most sodas, especially sugar-free alternatives, have small amounts of alcohol in them. Some of the brands include Coca-Cola, Diet Sprite, Diet Dr. Pepper, Fanta Orange, and Mountain Dew. The amount varies from brand to brand, but generally, it is less than 0.01%.
7UP uses potassium citrate instead of sodium citrate. This provides 7UP with that refreshing feeling that many drinkers claim to lack when consuming Sprite's syrup-heavy formula. 7UP is an extremely versatile soda — both on it's own and as a base ingredient.

You are technically sober if you drink non-alcoholic (NA) beer because it has minimal to no alcohol (usually under 0.5% ABV), but whether it "counts" as sober is a personal choice, as the taste and ritual can trigger cravings and risk relapse for some, especially those newer to recovery, while others find it a helpful tool for socializing. The key is understanding your own triggers, as it's a "slippery slope" for many, and consulting your support system is crucial.
For those who enjoy the taste and flavour of Guinness and appreciate some of its perceived benefits, Guinness draught 0.0%, enjoyed in moderation, might be a healthier option. Brewed in the same way, the alcohol is removed using a cold filtration method to preserve taste and flavour.
Cold meats
This means there's a risk they contain toxoplasmosis-causing parasites too. Check the instructions on the pack to see whether the product needs cooking. Pre-packed meats like ham and corned beef are considered safe to eat in pregnancy.
0.5% ABV is not enough to cause intoxication in most people. In fact, you would need to drink more than 20 beers with 0.5% ABV in order to reach the legal limit for driving!

The name 'rubbing alcohol' was coined in the United States during the 1920s, for two reasons. Firstly, the solution was used as a liniment in massages, and was literally rubbed in. During this time different additives and perfumes were added, so it didn't have quite the pungent aroma it has today.
