And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

Technically, Budweiser is a Belgian-owned multinational and actually, that's just the start of a problem that no amount of alcohol can change or solve.
Not pure ethanol, anyway. It's a solvent. 'Course, most of us refer to 95 EtOH as a solvent, too, despite the water. Once you get under, say, 50% ethanol (or anything, for that matter) in a solvent, I'm pretty sure most chemists would agree that the solute (ethanol) is in solution.
