Another classic case of commie-written text book. We weren't taught about Mendeleev's greatest contribution to humanity - his doctoral thesis.
Mendeleyev is often credited for the scientific justification of the "optimal" ratio of alcohol of 40% (80 proof) used in vodka. The source for the attribution was his doctorate thesis "On Composing Alcohol with Water".
Screw Periodic table - someone else would have come up with it eventually. This is big time research man! rocks

"optimal" ratio of alcohol of 40% (80 proof) used in vodka.

Not to suggest that I disagree that his doctoral thesis is by far his greatest contribution to human race...
"Composing Alcohol with Water"
