In other words adding hot water to the gin/whisky/vodka etc removes the alcohol from the drink, and so one ends up taking "alcohol flavored" hot water. Now you know why those "maji moto" guys at pubs take a whole bottle of whisky without getting significantly drunk. Fail: This tries to explain it!!! I know that to "bring out the flavours", one should add some little water, which is at room temperature. The water also brings down the % alcohol from 40 to about 30% making the drink easier to take. However adding half a glass of steaming hot water to a tot or 2 like i normally see people doing would have different results. The very hot water would evaporate the alcohol.

I don't think MC noted 'HOT WATER'. I have also wondered on this phenomenon... someone who used to work in the 'cooking room' at UDV told me the same thing... that the hot water does evaporate the alcohol somehow..

Alcohol as we know it (mostly about 40%) does not have the same properties as pure alcohol (100%) which boils at a lower temperature, alcohol and water are chemical azeotropes and therefore are extremely difficult to separate once they have been mixed, kila mtu ako na styro yake lakini maji moto ukimix na phombe haibaliki kuwa vangi!!!! ..."Wewe ni mtu mdogo sana....na mwenye amekuandika pia ni mtu mdogo sana!".

So how does mama pima distill her changaa? We discussed chang'aa brewing hapa before, it is a very elaborate process, can't be compared to pouring hot water on alcohol to get fumes that are alcohol!!!! ..."Wewe ni mtu mdogo sana....na mwenye amekuandika pia ni mtu mdogo sana!".
