Technically, the only places you find ethanol-like substances that you can drink are in beverages that come from corn and sugarcane - so, at best, you're talking about some rums and a few kinds of whiskey. Ethanol, after all, is just a fancy name for ethyl alcohol.Staffan said:Ethanol is the same stuff you have in booze.

As I understand, corn is a pretty bad thing to make ethanol from - you need more gas to grow, harvest, and process the corn than you'd get out of it. Sugarcane is much better.As you might imagine, the ethanol thing is a big deal in a corn-growing agricultural state like South Dakota
