alcoholic beverages
Spirits, wine, beer
Alcoholic beverages are drinks containing ethanol produced by fermentation of sugars—beer from grains, wine from grapes, spirits from distilled ferments.
The phrase appears in legal, regulatory, and formal contexts where *drinks* or *booze* would sound too casual: The store is licensed to sell alcoholic beverages.
Often shortened to *alcohol*: Will alcohol be served?
