i asked this Q earlier in Beer, wine and spirits, but i wanted a scientific answer regarding vapourisation point of 90 percent ethanol wrt body temperature specifically, as to weather the vapour from the spirit would make it impossible to drink. i have heard that once it hits your tongue some of the liquid vapourises from the heat filling your mouth with gaseous ethanol making you choke and not be able to swallow the liquid. Is this true?
is body temperature high enough so that the vapourisation of 9 percent ethanol is significant? thanks.
i want chemistry and biology answers please. none of this 90 percent ethanol is meths type stuff, or that one shot of 90 percent ethanol makes you go blind, its METHS that make you go blind, and ethanol is NOT methanol! or that one shot of any alcohol would KILL you, no matter how strong it is!

im not talking about how tough one is that can make it possible, i am talking about body temperature and vapourisation points. if you say it IS possible can you please say HOW its possible because i have only ever been told of this stuff automatically vapourising on your tongue. thank you
