Alcoholic Comet- Comet Lovejoy is spewing alcohol across space!

It's named Comet Lovejoy, and the space rock could certainly make some people on Earth joyful: It's pumping out as much alcohol as in 500 bottles of wine every second, according to Nicolas Biver of the Paris Observatory in France.
The discovery marks the first time that ethyl alcohol, the same type in alcoholic beverages, has been observed in a comet.
