The use of humic acids, zeolites, magnesium oxide beads and other mineral-containing materials in the activation of ethanol, alcoholic beverages and water is disclosed. Consumption of the energized liquids can have therapeutic benefits. The activated ethanol can be further used with neutral red dye and ultraviolet (UV) light illumination to indirectly enhance the environmental energy absorption properties of other liquids, including drinking water and of mineral containing materials. Mineral activated ethanol can similarly be used with neutral red dye and UV illumination to enhance the alternative cellular energy (ACE) pathway of an individual.
