Electrolysis of water, means that the water is separated into hydrogen and oxygen. As beer also includes water, I initially thought electrolysis of beer would cause the water to separate, and the hydrogen and oxygen given off gas, leaving behind a higher concentrate alcohol.
However then realise that ethanol is also in beer (and is what makes you drunk it seems), and like water has an OH bond, so would the electrolysis also cause that to break?
(also does the rest of the molecule affect the strength of the OH bond, either stronger or weaker?)
