[QUOTE="ArmyOfJuan, post: 2129860, member: 13351"] As a former science teacher (biology, zoology, and botany), we often distilled corn to make ethanol. It really made for a great lab. If you don't know ethanol is what gets you drunk while not poisoning you. If you've ever heard the old stories about moonshine making people go blind, that was from Methanol which actually distills first when making ethanol. Ethanol is the chief ingredient in most all drinking alcohols. It is also what is obviously used as a poor gas additive. In school we made it to demonstrate how stupid it was to make ethanol just to burn it up (it takes WAAAYYY more energy to make ethanol than it gives off when burned). Funny thing was, the kids NEVER caught on as to what we were doing. I even had a kid one year ask how moonshine was made. I answered him, vaguely, but even he didn't put it all together in the lab.
