drinking alcohol
Having some booze
Drinking alcohol refers to beverages containing ethanol that are safe for human consumption—beer, wine, spirits, and the like.
The phrase distinguishes consumable alcohol from industrial types like rubbing alcohol or methanol, which are toxic.
The store sells drinking alcohol but not denatured alcohol.
Often shortened to just "alcohol" when context is clear: Does he drink alcohol?
