An amphoteric substance is one that can act as an acid or as a base, depending on pH. Water (below) is amphoteric. Water (below) is amphoteric. Another example of an amphoteric molecule is the bicarbonate ion HCO − 3 that is the conjugate base of the carbonic acid molecule H2CO3 in the equilibrium
In Canada, regular beers typically have 5% ABV, while a reduced-alcohol beer contains 2.6%–4.0% ABV and an "extra-light" beer contains less than 2.5%. [ 21 ] In the United States, most mass-market light beer brands, including Bud Light , Coors Light , and Miller Lite , have 4.2% ABV, less than ordinary beers from the same makers which are 5% ABV.
With a diet of only solute-poor beer, only about 200–300 mOSM (normal 750 mOSM to greater than 900 mOSM) of solute will be excreted per day, capping the amount of free water excretion at 4 L (0.88 imp gal; 1.1 US gal). Any intake above 4 L would lead to a dilution of the serum sodium concentration and thus hyponatremia.
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] Healthy human kidneys can only excrete 0.8–1.0 L of water per hour, making water intoxication likely to set in before any alcoholic intoxication. [9]
An alcohol-free or non-alcoholic drink, also known as a temperance drink, is a version of an alcoholic drink made without alcohol, or with the alcohol removed or reduced to almost zero. These may take the form of a non-alcoholic mixed drink or non-alcoholic beer , and are widely available where alcoholic drinks are sold.

[5] [6] An increase of alcohol intake by ~20 g ethanol/day will raise the PEth 16:0/18:1 concentration by ~0.10 μmol/L, and vice versa if the alcohol consumption has decreased. However, it has been demonstrated that there can be significant inter-personal variation, leading to potential misclassification between moderate and heavy drinkers. [ 7 ]
