There are some v-e-r-y interesting sites that come up when you do a search on C2H5OH, notably:

http://www.hangoverguide.com/over/clinic/c2h5oh.html(Unusual use of language.)

http://www.c2h5oh.net/ (Subtitled We drink beer and fall down--I didn't investigate this one.)

http://mikawa.com/c2h5oh/(For an Oriental sake,
I mean take, on things.)
