Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.

God, no. I like drinking it because it has like no taste and I only have to use a little.
From what I read, acetone can be dried by baking Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate?) to dry it and then adding acetone. I think then it's supposed to be frozen and the acetone can be poured off the top. I was thinking of trying it with ethanol, but using a natural salt that forms a hydrate and (hopefully) isn't a laxative, not that it should dissolve.

Has anyone tried marketing a pure 100% ethanol drink?
I personally drink Everclear, and it's 190 proof, or 95% ABV. From what I can tell alcohol with water forms an azeotrope and has a lower boiling point than alcohol without. I would suspect that when alcohol is distilled some flavors may come with the water that evaporates with it.
I was thinking about trying to distill my own "dry" alcohol. If you add certain dried salts that form hydrates I think you can "soak up" the extra water and be left with basically pure ethanol, except for some of those other things you mentioned.

This looks like it should be shown right after someone says, "he was a quiet man."

Reply to If collagen is a protein, and proteins are broken down during digestion, why would collagen or collagen supplements be beneficial? Is it just hype? by skepticated
Your body is constantly breaking itself down, catabolism, and building itself up, anabolism. Your body breaks down its own, endogenous, collagen and builds it up. By consuming collagen, your body can break it down rather than breaking down your endogenous collagen. The metabolites may or may not be used to build new tissue, but the benefit from it is supposed to be by decreasing catabolism without affecting anabolism.
I thought something similar, but with amino acids. I thought they would be directly used to make new proteins. After me wasting ten minutes of class time arguing with my teacher, this is how she explained it to me. The end results of metabolism may be used to build new amino acids, or in this case collagen, but the value comes from decreasing catabolism.

Reply to A bold effort to cure HIV—using Crispr by Sariel007
Why are people just now trying this? CRISP is based off bacteria's own defense. This is really annoying how long it's taking people to solve our problems.

That's a good question. Has anyone else mentioned the idea of a chatbot that is actually a therapist?
