It's just dumbed down alcohol. Probably better diluted like that
for your body.

Beer is fermented alcohol like wine. Same as "mash" for making
the hard stuff. All you have to do is distill beer (or wine) and
you will still get mostly pure alcohol. Moonshine.

I drink beer or wine but don't like the hard stuff. My rule is:
if it's flammable with a match, it's not so good to pour down
into your stomach. (unless it's watered down with a mix)
