      Wine is at least 15% alcohol, so that limits it to being at most 85% water. But fear not, as even half a percent of your blood content being alcohol is considered deadly, so mere 1% conversion is enough.

        Not to be pedantic, but the ABV of wine can range from like 5-20%. Still a lot more than 1%, but 15+% ABV wine seems pretty strong

          How dare you be pedantic over my pedantry?!

          But seriously, go ahead. I basically don’t consume alcohol, so I’m not super familiar with the subject at hand. But in my experience I usually see labels stating about 12-15% ABV. And mentally I categorize alcohol into 3 groups 5%, 15% and 40%. As a non-drinking person, this seems to work well.

            12-15% isn’t “at least” 15%. “At least” would imply that the lowest it could be is 15%, when in reality wine is at most 15%.

            Theoretically it could be higher but it would likely have to be fortified, as even the most obdurate yeasts would suffocate in their own waste before producing higher concentrations of alcohol.

            You might find some liqueurs with 20-30%, but those typically contain some amount of spirits to get their ABV up that high.

    I think that’s not a PR-permissible combat power. Charles is trying to get people to accept mutants, “gruesome lethal force” is less than an optimal arsenal for that.
