Even a small amount of alcohol will make a cat (animal) very ill, and can be fatal. Cats cannot process alcohol it can cause kidney damage, and if not treated quickly, may cause renal failure leading to the death of the animal. NO ANIMAL should be given this!

All alcohol will NOT immediately endanger the life of a cat as the first poster has suggested unless you pour it down its throat for hours upon hours and mix all kinds of alcohol just the SAME as a human, any amount in excess is a danger to health and life, but if your cat has had a sneaky few sips of a glass of wine or a vodka and coke, then it will get a little tipsy, sick and wake up with a hangover just like you. So I wouldn't worry about it but always take it to a vet if you feel it's necessary.

Undiluted spirits ARE more likely to be fatal, as their small body weight could not handle the amount of alcohol in them.

Do not give your cat alcohol (and certainly not on a regular basis,) it really isn't good for them same as it's not good for us and long term WILL cause kidney damage etc. and possible death.

Will alcohol make you stop tripping on mushrooms?

No, taking alcohol is not likely to abate the effects of magic mushrooms. Usually, the psychedelic effects overwhelm the depressant effects of alcohol, which are typically less noticeable than when not tripping.

It has over 20 percent alcohol in it. So I'd have to say you would feel the effects of alcohol, and common side effects are a little gas and diarrhea. Depends on the amount you consume i suppose.

Could an experiment be done with rubbing alcohol and a liver to show the effects of alcohol on the liver?

No. Isopropyl alcohol does not affect the liver in the same way as ethyl alcohol. Furthermore, the effects on the liver come from the functioning of a living liver (!) dealing with alcohol for long periods of time. The conditions possible in an experiment would have no valid relationship to the actual course of alcoholic liver disease.

Does boiling water lessen the alcohol content of whiskey?

The total amount of alcohol content will not diminish. However as the volume of liquid is increased then the alcohol percentage by volume will decrease. Some may also evaporate with the hot water but it would be a very small amount.
