"Near beer" was a term for malt beverages containing little or no alcohol (less than 0.5% ABV), which were mass-marketed during Prohibition in the United States. Near beer could not legally be labeled as "beer" and was officially classified as a "cereal beverage". [32] The most popular "near beer" was Bevo, brewed by the Anheuser-Busch company.
Nicotine has been used as an insecticide since at least 1690, in the form of tobacco extracts or as pure nicotine sulphate [19] [51] [52] (although other components of tobacco also seem to have pesticide effects). [53] It acts on the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, and gave the receptor its name. Nicotine is in IRAC group 4B.
Zyn pouches are sold in round cans containing 15 or 20 pouches depending on the market. Pouches are available in different levels of nicotine strength (such as 3 or 6 milligrams per pouch in the US) and different flavored and unflavored varieties. [17] The pouches contain nicotine extracted from tobacco leaves, and food grade ingredients. [18]

A nicotine base and a weak acid such as benzoic acid or levulinic acid is used to form a nicotine salt. [1] Across a sample of 23 nicotine salts available for public purchase, the three most common acids used in the formation of nicotine salts were lactic acid, benzoic acid and levulinic acid. [8]
Nicotine pouches are sold in an array of flavors, such as peppermint, black cherry, coffee, citrus, and many others. [37] The nicotine content among nicotine pouch brands typically varies from 1 mg/pouch to 10 mg/pouch [39] although some have much more. Nicotine pouches usually have a longer shelf-life than traditional snus. [40]
It is near impossible for a healthy person to become intoxicated drinking low-alcohol drinks. The low concentration severely limits the rate of intake, which is easily dispatched by human metabolism. Quickly drinking 1.5 L of 0.4% alc/vol beer in an hour resulted in a maximum of 0.0056% BAC in a study of German volunteers. [8]
Saccharomyces pastorianus is a yeast used industrially for the production of lager beer, and was named in honour of Louis Pasteur by the German Max Reess in 1870. [1] This yeast's complicated genome appears to be the result of hybridisation between two pure species in the Saccharomyces species complex, a factor that led to difficulty in establishing a proper taxonomy of the species.
