Debates about alcoholic beverages are basically endless. Everyone has their favorite brands, preferred drinks, and a particular way of consuming them. Differences in preparation and alcohol content are very important, but they are much better appreciated with the help of an unusual ally: the microscope. The company BevShots and Florida State University created a series of micrographs that reveal impressive details in more than a dozen drinks, and you can't miss them.
What was the last alcoholic beverage you consumed? Personally, I can say I barely drink alcohol, beyond cider on special dates (Christmas and New Year), and the occasional glass of cold beer when the heat hits too hard. Talking about beer in a forum or social network is like handling uranium.
Flame wars are the order of the day, and any legitimate suggestion loses meaning amid complaints about craft beers, industrial beers, cold, hot, German, English, or made by monks in the middle of the mountain. Something similar happens with wines… and essentially with any drink.
As an alternative, I propose exploring the differences between alcoholic beverages in a very interesting way, with the intervention of a microscope. Scientist Michael Davidson from the Florida State University and the art company BevShots shared a series of spectacular micrographs, which in some cases required up to three months of waiting and 200 attempts.
