An alcoholic beverage is a beverage containing ethanol, a type of alcohol that acts as a drug and is produced through the fermentation of grains, fruits, or other sugar sources.
In many cultures, the consumption of alcoholic beverages, also known as “drinking,” plays an important social role.
Most countries have laws that govern the manufacture, sale, and consumption of alcoholic beverages.
Some countries outright prohibit such activities, but alcoholic beverages are legal in the majority of the world.
Alcohol is a depressant that causes euphoria, reduces anxiety, and increases sociability in small doses. It causes drunkenness, stupor, unconsciousness, or death at higher doses.
Long-term use can result in an alcohol use disorder, and an increased risk of developing various types of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and other health problems.
