Alchoholic Beverages

Alcoholic beverages are drinks that contain ethanol, a type of alcohol produced through the fermentation of sugars by yeast. Common types include beer, wine, and spirits like vodka and whiskey. The alcohol content varies, with beer typically around 5%, wine around 12-15%, and spirits about 40% or more. These beverages are often consumed socially and can enhance flavors in food, but they also require responsible consumption due to potential health risks, including addiction and impaired judgment. Regulations regarding age and sales vary by country, reflecting cultural attitudes towards alcohol.
