Mental Floss compiled some of the most prevalent misconceptions about our favorite adult libations and got the hilarious host of the web series My Drunk Kitchen, Hannah Hart, to debunk them. Hart's web series, as the title suggests, centers around her attempting to cook a meal while also getting very drunk. Who better to educate the world on this subject?
