Dumping small amount of cigarette ashes into the beers By dumping a small amount of cigarette ash into a beer, I have heard people say it helps give the beer an extra "kick"...

Is there any truth to this? Or, is it just a myth?...
Adding any particulate to a beer will reduce the carbonation due to more nucleation sites and the flavor may change from the tobacco ash, but the only way to increase the alcohol content of a beer in your glass is to add alcohol.
