I am a retired power engineer (73 years) and as a matter of general 
knowledge would like to know if matured (aged)alcohol is in any way less 
harmful and its effect on drunkenness.Does alcohol in wine,whisky, rum,gin 
etc. is different in composition? If this can't be answered please give 
referances of web sites.
