strong drink
Potent alcoholic beverage
Strong drink is an old-fashioned or literary term for alcoholic beverages, especially distilled spirits rather than beer or wine.
The phrase often appears in religious or moral contexts warning against intoxication: The Bible cautions against strong drink.
It sounds formal or deliberately archaic in modern speech.
