Because of its alcohol content and the high temperatures required to make beer, most consumers might assume that contamination by biologically derived compounds is not an issue.
The mixture of caffeine and alcohol, according to doctors quoted by Fort Wayne's WANE News, can pose serious health risks by concealing the depressive
effect of the alcohol content and making the individual more likely to continue drinking.
For example, in order to call liquor «bourbon», at least 50 %
of the alcohol content must be derived from corn derived alcohol that is distilled and then aged for a certain period of time set forth in the regulations.
