Lessee.

5ml (your teaspoons are probably more like 3ml, but who cares) of more
or less pure alcohol per 4.5*5 (?) litres is 0.005/22.5 = 0.02% of
alcohol by volume.

Sounds like a homepathic remedy to me.

I am more interested in what had happened if he had tipped a bottle of
ale into those 20 litres. There are lots of nice sugars and vitamins
in there.

Still - whatever is good for you is supposed to taste bad, and
moonshone _does_ taste awful.
