"He was a wise man who invented beer." - Plato.

"Give me a woman who loves beer and I will conquer the world." - Kaiser Wilhelm.

"Always remember that I have taken more out of alcohol than alcohol has taken out of me." - Sir Winston Churchill.

"WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may make you think you are whispering when you are not."

An alcoholic BEVERAGE is a drink that contains ethanol (commonly called alcohol). Alcoholic beverages are divided into three general classes: beers, wines, and spirits.

Alcoholic beverages are consumed in almost every sovereign state, and most have laws that regulate their production, sale, and consumption. In particular, such laws specify the minimum age at which a person may legally buy or drink alcoholic beverages. This minimum age can be as low as 16 years in some nations, however most nations set the minimum age at 18 years.

The production and consumption of alcohol occurs nowadays in most cultures of the world. Alcoholic beverages are often an important part of social events in these cultures. In many cultures, drinking plays a significant role in social interaction — mainly because of alcohol’s neurological effects.

Alcohol has been used by people around the world, in the standard diet, for hygienic/medical reasons, for its relaxant and euphoric effects, for recreational purposes, for artistic inspiration, as aphrodisiacs, and for other reasons. Some drinks have been invested with symbolic or religious significance suggesting the mystical use of alcohol, e.g. by Greco-Roman religion in the ecstatic rituals of Dionysus (also called Bacchus), god of wine and revelry; in the Christian Eucharist; and on the Jewish Shabbat and festivals (particularly Passover).

The term SPIRIT refers to a distilled beverage that contains no added sugar and has at least 20% ABV. Popular spirits include whisky, rum, vodka, gin, tequila, absinthe, brandy and fruit brandy (also known as eau-de-vie or schnapps).

In common usage, the distinction between spirits and LIQUERS is widely unknown or ignored; consequently all alcoholic beverages other than beer and wine are generally referred to as spirits. Liqueurs are distilled beverages that are bottled with added sugar and added flavorings.

BOTTLED WATER is drinking water, carbonated water, mineral water, distilled water, spring water, artesian well water, or de-ionized water packaged in plastic bottles or glass bottles.
