Alcohol and its derivatives.
Alcohol and alcoholic drinks
Definition and manufacture
Pure alcohol is a chemical, solvent, reagent, diluent, thinner, fuel, antiseptic, obtained by fermentation and distillation of sugars (glucose and fructose) contained in fruit, sweet liquids (palm wine, rônier wine, sugar cane), roots (beet, cassava, etc.), cereals (maize, millet, sorghum, fonio). The product obtained after distillation is very strong ( 90°), it is the Benin gatenga which burns very hot on consumption. It is, depending on the raw material and the method used, ethanol, propanol, butanol, found in hospitals, perfumes, medicines, petrol, liqueurs, etc. The first alcohol is now diluted with the last liquid of the distillation called “Belo” in Benin to give Koutoukou or sodabi of a degree varying between 30° and 70°.Professionals appreciate the power of the sodabi to taste because rare are manufacturers that use a measuring instrument. I am talking about the traditional method of making my own home because chemists have everything they need in the laboratory to produce a natural or synthetic alcohol of a precise degree. Other traditional methods, sometimes dubious, exist and the resulting alcohol may be adulterated, toxic, and lethal. Occasionally, for example, there are mass deaths after a night of drinking alcohol.

In the other cases, the alcohols are synthesized from organic compounds derived from natural gas or petroleum, in particular by hydration of the alkenes.
The liquors are obtained by diluting and flavoring the first alcohol. Some liqueurs are even medicines because they are rich in plant essences provided you know how to use them.
Wines and beers are obtained by fermentation of fruit sugars, cereals, and roots. All in all, any fermentation contains alcohol either outside or inside our bodies. Every time you have a bloating problem, think about it. Even if you do not drink alcohol, your body produces alcohol and you can prevent this by your lifestyle.
Different types of alcoholic beverages
Group 1, soft drinks: mineral or aerated waters, fruit or vegetable juices not fermented or not containing, following the start of fermentation, traces of alcohol greater than 1,2 degrees, lemonades, syrups, infusions, milk, coffee, tea, chocolate;
Group 2, non-distilled fermented beverages: wine, beer, cider, perry, mead, together with natural sweet wines benefiting from the tax system for wines, as well as blackcurrant creams and fermented fruit or vegetable juices containing 1,2 to 3 degrees of alcohol;
Group 3, natural sweet wines other than those belonging to Group 2, liqueur wines, wine-based aperitifs and strawberry, raspberry, blackcurrant or cherry liqueurs, not exceeding 18 degrees pure alcohol;
4th group, rums, tafias, alcohols obtained from the distillation of wines, ciders, perries or fruit, not containing added petrol and liqueurs sweetened with sugar, glucose or honey at a rate of not less than 400 grams per liter for aniseed-flavored liqueurs and not more than 200 grams per liter for other liqueurs and not containing more than half a gram of petrol per liter;
5th group, all other alcoholic beverages.

NB: The caloric intake of alcohol is not negligible and 1 g of alcohol provides 7 kcal. Thus alcoholic beverages make it grow. Also, appetizers stimulate appetite. People who wish to lose weight are following a severe diet but are drinking alcohol are mistaken. Instead of drinking alcoholic beverages, they should drink green tea without sugar and it will do good to their bodies.
Circuitry in the body
Alcohol is directly assimilated when the stomach is empty and passes in a few minutes into the blood, liver, brain and other organs. When the belly is full, the effect is somewhat delayed. Indeed once drunk, the ingested alcohol enters the stomach before migrating to the small intestine. After about half an hour (which varies if the consumer fasts because food delays the passage of alcohol from the stomach to the intestine), alcohol passes directly into the blood. It then reaches all organs, especially the brain and liver. Then alcohol that is not metabolized by the liver leaves the body and goes to the heart. Every time you drink alcohol in any form, think about your liver, heart, brain and other organs and your weakened immune system. The stronger the alcohol, the more damage it causes.
Drinking or not drinking
Alcohol, liqueurs, and alcoholic beverages have no place in healthy eating except to clean or disinfect a mouth sore. The best drink is drinking water or drinking spring water with low mineral content. Tea is good for your health. Wine is tolerated at a moderate dose at the table between adults. Beer is tolerated in moderate doses because of its intake of group B vitamins. With family and friends, choose tea over alcohol. Pregnant women should not drink alcohol at all for the health of their child for fear of having an alcoholic child by birth. Don't give never alcohol or alcoholic beverages to your children. If you give them, imagine what they will do behind you as a child and don’t complain after they love to drink and smoke. I have already spoken to many fathers about this. Please don't do it.
Alcohol and pharmacopeia..
Alcohol is a good disinfectant and a good solvent. In traditional medicine, sodabi (or Koutoukou) is used a lot, especially for aphrodisiac products. In southern Benin, this is a common practice and many Beninese are familiar with it. When you visit an authentic Beninese man, ask him for the “other bottle” and it will serve you something to be active all day long at all levels. There are roots that, when macerated with sodabi in a well-sealed bottle, give the man renewed vigor. The products release their tannins, lower the degree of alcohol, and color the alcohol to give an elixir of great value (digestive, tonic, exciting, fluidizing, aphro, etc.). Those who know the value of sodabi never abuse it because, in the morning, they barely take a small glass of their potion and that's enough to keep them active all day long. The drunkards you meet are only weak-minded people who take refuge in alcohol. They lack self-control and are living sick people who refuse to face life. Many don't eat, abuse alcohol, beer, and tobacco, weakening their immunity. They need treatment Africa needs all of its children for its development. We have products for them.

Alcohol in industry
Alcohols are used in the chemical industry as:
- solvents: ethanol, which is not very toxic, is used in perfumes and medicines;
- fuels: methanol and ethanol can replace petrol and fuel oil because their combustion does not produce toxic fumes;
- reagents: polyurethanes, esters or alkenes may be synthesized from alcohols;
- antifreeze: the low solidification temperature of certain alcohols such as methanol and ethylene glycol make them good antifreeze
Danger of alcoholism.
Alcohol, coffee, and tobacco are uncompensated exciters. True, alcohol thins the blood, activates circulation, causes euphoria, but eventually exhausts it, and is depressing. This increases the risk of addiction and dependence. A good man should avoid alcohol, pure liquors, and drink tea. Alcohol makes the liver, brain and heart tired.In addition, alcohol and tobacco lower the immune defenses, irritate the inner lining (mouth, esophagus, stomach, intestine, etc.) and predispose to diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes, ulcer, cancer, pneumonia, staphylococcal infection, etc Wine and beer are tolerated at a very moderate dose.
NB: Smokers and alcoholics must drink a lot of curdled milk and regularly take a lemon juice cure.
