Alcoholic Beverages

Alcoholic beverages are drinks that contain ethanol, a type of alcohol produced through fermentation or distillation. Common types include beer, wine, and spirits like whiskey and vodka. The fermentation process involves yeast converting sugars from grains or fruits into alcohol, while distillation involves heating a liquid to create vapor and then condensing it back into liquid, increasing alcohol concentration. Alcoholic drinks are often enjoyed socially and can vary in alcohol content, flavor, and cultural significance. Consumption should be done responsibly, as excessive drinking can lead to health risks and addiction.
