Pretty sure that's the "rot your brain, make you blind then kill you" alcohol, not the fun kind. But hey, I could be wrong.

Is it the stuff you put on your wounds?

Nope, it's the ethyl alcahol variety... the drinkable one. The other organic molecules detected in the cloud also suggest that it will taste like raspberry rum.

Astronomer here, I confirm that there's a lot of ethanol in space. Ugh, I can still remember the patterns of spectral lines in the submillimetric domain, I've seen them way too often.

As long as it's drinkable and there's a fuckton of it, I'm down for an intergalactic roadtrip

It's not readily drinkable though. It's a super diluted gas mixed with other molecules like cyanide. It's going to take a big funnel to collect something, then you have to carefully sort it. But in the end you do get space vodka.

Sounds totally worth it just to get something as awesome sounding as Space Vodka.
