“To alcohol! The cause of… and solution to… all life’s problems” - Homer Simpson
Well, not quite. This Alcohol isn’t the booze variety but a virtual CD application. With it, you can create disk images of any CD/DVDs you have, so it’s great for backing up all your software, in case you lose the disks. More than that, Alcohol also let’s you create virtual drives, that let you mount your disk images and run the CD/DVD from your hard drive as though the actual disk was in a physical drive. Not only does this save you from having to search around for your disks, access speeds can be greatly increased because the information is coming straight from your hard drive, so it’s also great for gamers who are tired of changing game disks everytime they play something.
The paid version of Alcohol, called Alcohol 120%, adds the ability to burn your disk images as well and letting you create 31 virtual drives (instead of the 6 allowed with Alcohol 52%). The free version does come with a toolbar as part of the installer but you can just make sure to untick it as an option during setup.

52% is free. You just don’t get the burning functions that you do in 120% (which you have to pay for). There are plenty of free burning applications though, I’ll review a couple soon.

Yeah, I wish the 120% version was free too. It does have a 30 day trial edition though for anyone who wants to try it out.

I have paid version of this software.I think Nero + any other free emulation tools like daemon tools will do better job from my experience

Great software but such strange name…it’s hard to find on Google because you get a bunch of sites about alcohol (the good kind)
