Fun fact: apple fermentations have the most methanol of all common brews. That's why the hangover from that putrid applejack you make will be so cripplingly bad. In the olden times there used to be a disease called apple palsy, and it was from the longterm effects of metabolizing all dat methanol from habitual drinking of hard cider. And finally, the oft-forgotten fact of the temperance movement is that it was preceded by and heavily influenced by an American movement in the 1880s that sought to limit the damage cider was having on the nation. They were so successful that drinking beer went from rare to a national pasttime by the turn of the 20th century and they completely eliminated the small cider orchards that many families kept to keep themselves in booze.
