Using Bassy's criteria, beer could be whiskey.

I'll take it one step further.

It's all consumable alcohol.

Period. End of discussion.

"Smithers" has been living off of the schnapps string here for years. I

It doesn't eaven ahve to be "consumable" by human deffinition.. I
suppose you could include Napalm, and that "jelly juice" they used to
propell ww2 torpedo's with as well.
