Alcoholic beverage"An alcoholic drink (or alcoholic beverage) is a drink that contains ethanol, a type of alcohol produced by fermentation of grains, fruits, or other sources of sugar. The consumption of alcohol plays an important social role in many cultures. Most countries have laws regulating the production, sale, and consumption of alcoholic beverages. Some countries ban such activities entirely, but alcoholic drinks are legal in most parts of the world. The global alcoholic drink industry exceeded $1 trillion in 2018. Alcohol is a depressant, which in low doses causes euphoria, reduces anxiety, and improves sociability. In higher doses, it causes drunkenness, stupor, unconsciousness, or death. Long-term use can lead to alcohol abuse, cancer, physical dependence, and alcoholism. Alcohol is one of the most widely used recreational drugs in the world, with about 33% of people being current drinkers. As of 2016[update], women on average drink 0.7 drinks and males 1.7 drinks a day. In 2015, among Americans, 86% of adults had consumed alcohol at some point, 70% had drunk it in the last year, and 56% in the last month. Alcoholic drinks are typically divided into three classes—beers, wines, and spirits—and typically their alcohol content is between 3% and 50%." - (en.wikipedia.org 06.10.2019) Alcohol consumption Drink Apéritif aqua vitae (akovita) Beer borovicska Bowle Brandy Brandy Brandy bólé cherry brandy Cocktail Cruchon cseresznyepálinka csokoládélikőr Fruit wine félszáraz ital félédes ital German sparkling wine Gin gyomorerősítő gyomorkeserű Hangya Likőr jamaikai rum Kasiri keserűlikőr Koniferum borovicka Konyak krémlikőr kubai rum kávélikőr köménylikőr körtepálinka Likőrkülönlegesség Likőrös hordók Liquor Mecseki meggylikőr Meinl kávélikőr Meinl likőr Millenium keserű likőr narancspálinka növényi likőr rum Sake Short drink Sparkling wine Spirit drink Spritzer szilvórium Talisman pezsgő tankpezsgő tearum TOKAJI COGNAC Trois Tours törköly Törley pezsgő Vermouth vermouth Wine ZWACK Unicum Zárda likőr Żubrówka Altvater likör Csemege likör Gschwindt likör Gschwindt pálinka Kombucha
