Starting to Crack

I didn’t sleep last night. I was so busy working on a website that I stayed awake and worked and worked. At 5, I thought some rest might be a good idea, but I just laid in bed and listened to the robins outside my window building a nest and generally making a ruckus. I couldn’t sleep, so I finally just got up, showered and dressed and headed to school to finish my grades.

Which I did.

So now I’m typing with my eyes closed, wondering what makes vinegar different from beer?

UPDATE: I googled around and found that vinegar is made by mixing mother of vinegar (a mixture of yeast and acetic acid bacteria) with cider, beer or wine. Essentially, the bacteria oxidizes the ethanol, creating the sour liquid we know as vinegar. That’s why it comes in such varieties as malt vinegar (from malted barley), distilled vinegar (from distilled alcohol) and red wine vinegar (from red wine). Glad I got that outta my brain.
