Alcoholic beverages are drinks that contain ethanol or ethyl alcohol. Alcoholic beverages are formed by the fermentation of grains, fruits, and many other ingredients such as honey, plant saps, milk, and tubers. Fermented liquid is further subjected to distillation in order to reduce the water content in order to obtain superior alcoholic strength. Generally, any source of sugar and yeast can generate alcohol. Alcohol acts as a depressant in small doses and helps in reducing anxiety and improving sociability. Long-term consumption of alcohol can lead to addiction and physical dependence. Additionally, high consumption of alcohol increases the risk of high blood pressure, stroke, and heart disease.
