HERB - Freeze-distillation

[CorwynWdwd@aol.com]

I have made similar findings online. While I never discounted alcohol as a 
contributor to hangover, I did have personal as well as anecdotal evidence to 
the impurities being the primary factor. While alcohol is a poison, so are 
most substances in enough quantity.

Can we just agree to disagree? I see no clear evidence either way at the 
moment.
