Q: hello, i recently dropped my television remote into an alcoholic drink i made. i took the remote out and noticed it stopped working, but continued to finish my drink. is this toxic?

: Not enough time for the materials in the remote (circuit board, batteries ...) dissolve into the alcoholic drink so I do not think the drink is harmful but I wonder why you did not dump the dirty drink. The remote did not work just because of short circuit.
