To quote a great man by the name of Schotty: “Alkohol ist keine Lösung! Alkohol ist eine Löse – das ist ein Riesen-Unterschied!”
🍸 I like to mix my solutions. The more the merrier.

There’s the joke in Swedish about alcohol being a lösningsmedel (solvent, but also something that solves problems). Won’t that also work in German but with Lösungsmittel?

Solvent or solute depending on concentration. The drink however is a solution.

Alcohol is a solution if you dilute it a little.

100% distillation of alcohol is impossible, so I guess it's always a solution. But technically it's not a solution. Spirits are a solution.

Distillation is not the only way to remove water. You can distill ethanol up to 95.5% and then remove the rest of the water by chemical drying
