Alcohol Defined

This word comes from the Arabic al-kuhl, which originally meant a very fine powder of antimony used as eye makeup. It conveyed the idea of something very fine and subtle, and the Arab alchemists therefore gave the name of al-kuhl to any impalpable powder obtained by sublimation (the direct transformation of a solid into vapor, or the reverse process), and thus to all compounds obtained through the distillation process.

This definition is in context to Etymology. See more contextual defintions for Alcohol.

  • Junkfood Science: Survey Says: Parents purportedly want to be screened for alcohol use by their child's pediatrician: Pediatricians are being encouraged to add another screening test to their lifestyle assessments of the families of their young patients. Medscape just reported on a study in the current issue of the journal Pediatrics telling pediatricians that it had found eight out of ten parents would ?welcome or not mind at all? their child?s doctor asking them about their alcohol use and screening them for a drinking problem. Pediatricians also read that one-third or more parents said they would similarly appreciate their child?s pediatrician reporting them to a social worker or making an appointment for them with their own doctor if he/she found they had a drinking problem. ?The fact that more than 75% of the parents who screened positive were receptive to alcohol screening should reassure pediatricians who fear a negative response to questioning,? the study?s lead author Dr. Celeste R. Wilson, M.D., from the Children' s Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, was quoted saying in Medscape Psychiatry.
