I dropped two links. One was to a page about alcoholic beverages in general with no specific link to Jake Leg. The other was spam for a band. Neither contributed important information. Please speak up if I missed a valuable bit! [[User:Littenberg|Ben]] 11:58, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
== Five grams per cc? ==
I've added a cite-needed tag for the statement that the Treasury Department required five grams solids per cc of alcohol; I don't know that it's wrong, but it seems hard to believe that it would be physically possible, so a source or explanation of how it's possible would be welcome. Five grams of solids in the nature of dried ginger from the spice cabinet, mixed with one cc of alcohol, wouldn't make a liquid mixture but more of a paste. Are the stated units of measure incorrect? Is there a lot of other liquid (such as water) in the mixture besides the alcohol? (That'd be a reasonable way to make an extract, but it would contradict the 70-80% alcohol figure elsewhere in the article.) Are they counting something I wouldn't normally think of as solids in the "solids" category (which seems possible given the mention of molasses) so that it's really more like "5 grams of non-volatile substances"?
