Alcohol is a compound @:-)
Not quite the same thing, but Red Square at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas has a bartop that is coated with ice, and serves a wide and varied selection of vodkas (and caviars) from around the world. They also have a "vodka vault" which is kept at freezing temperatures and they have fur coats and hats you can borrow to go in for a tasting.
People who think all vodka is the same because it's odorless and flavorless should do a tasting/sampler here! (Insert joke about drinking too much and "horizontal tastings" )

Alcohol is an organic chemical, although actually it's a whole family of molecules, commonly abbreviated as ROH, with methanol and ethanol being the simplest. It's organic becasue the R part contains carbon atoms and the OH (oxygen and hydrogen) part makes it an alcohol.

MAEN Delta folks, navi_jen saying hi from Bangalore India. Had surprisingly good Italian Risotto last night (paired with Stags Leap Artemis) and a decent Starbucks (I asked for Thai or Vietnamese type coffee, our 'dude' got us Starbucks). I highly recommend the Ritz in Bangalore too, fabulous breakfast buffet. Start the journey home tonight, only to be welcomed by four inches of freezing, heavy wet snow that fell overnight in Boston. But at least I get to see my Pumpkin soon. He's not as cute as Thor, but he'll do.
PS. Thor, handsome, but not my thing. I'm more a George Clooney/Paul Newman type (particularly since I am past the boyish threshold, a la young Brad Pitt).

According to chemistry, alcohol, and thus vodka, is a solution.
Well it wasn't last night, but I have stayed at the "Survival Inn" at Fairchild Air Force Base where I completed USAF emergency parachute training, i.e. how to jump out or eject from a not perfectly-good airplane.

I prefer Absolut vodka in my martinis because it just tastes better. I know it's not considered the best, but I don't care.

there are a couple of craft distilleries here in the Seattle area that make really good (as in, medal-winning) vodkas

Yes, depending on what you mean by "hit by".
