Does alcohol have animal fat or anyfing in?
i was told that i couldn't drink cos it has animal fats in alcohol is that true?
Answers:
Isinglass is made from fish bladders. It used to be used to clarify beer but i doubt if it still is. I've also hear of meat being added to cider during the brewing process but I doubt if this happens now either.
pure alcohol no it is possible some disreputable brewer would put animal fat in beer
ALL THE BAILEYS LIKE ALCOHOLIC DRINKS THEY HAVE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF ANIMAL FAT FROM CREAM!
not in any grain alcohol--as in hard liquor
I don't fink so
hahahahahaha
no
Unlikely to contain animal fat, however a lot of alcoholic drinks use animal products to refine the liquid, eg isinglass is used in some beer and is obtained from the swim bladders of fish, gelatine is used in a lot of ciders, and various animal-derived substances are used in wines, sherry & port.
A lot of drinks are vegetarian - you don't have to stick to water & fruit juice! If you're worried, check out http://www.vegsoc.org/info/alcohol.html...
some alcholol such as red wine (certain brands) is fined using animal blood,albumen,fish scales etc most spirits are ok, also guiness isnt suitable for vegans or baileys
Alcohol comes from fermented fruits and grains, so no.
Not in the alcohol but in stuff that may be mixed into it.
no, the origin of alcohol is from plants only
no, alcohol has no animal fat in it. That is if you buy just the alcohol with nothing mixed in with it.
No it doesn't. Alcohol whether its beer or wine or liquor is made from grains and/or fruits.
it is not animal fat, but there are animal products used in the making of loads of drinks
Not sure if you are really that bothered but here are a list of all veggie drinks

its not true that you " couldn't drink cos it has animal fats in alcohol". You can drink it, and many do !
However, you can't drink most of it if you are veggie or vegan.
Its scary how many people here don't know whats in thier food !
Beers and wines are often fined with the swim ladder of a sturgeon fish or crushed oyster shells. "charcoal" used to fine wines is often not charcoal, it is burnt chrushed bones.
About 75% of wines and beers are non-veggie
There are veggie and vegan alternatives, you just need to hunt them out
There is no Fat put into alcohol.
Most (not all) spirits are vegan as they are distilled and do not use any other product.
Most wine and beer is not vegan as they use a number of products derived from animal, to clarify them. As mentioned by others.
Alchohol itself ususally doesn't - however gelatine (make from pork or beef bones) isinglass (make from the swim bladders of fish) and various other animal by-products are often used to 'clear' beers and wines (and some spirits before distilation).
Check with the vegetarian society's beer & wine list for more info
baileys or any irish creams are not suitable for vegetarians
The veg/vegan issue with alcoholic drinks is that very often isinglass (a fish by-product, IIRC - it's definitely of animal origin) is used to make beers and wine. If you choose to cut out fungi from your diet, there's also a problem with the yeast.
You can get veg friendly beer and wine though, and spirits should be OK.
Some alcohol does have animal products in.
Wine often us fish bladder in th learing process (but ther are veggie wines avalible, Sainsburys does several), Some beer also uses animal products. Grolsch, Castlemain, Budwiser and Becks are all fine though. As for spirits the vegetarian society says most are ok!
