酒≠wine！别再把酒说成wine了

Do you drink wine? ×

这么说是错的！

alcohol

我们都知道alcohol是“酒精”的意思，作为一种饮品，alcohol则泛指所有含有酒精的饮料 alcoholic drink (or alcoholic beverage)

Alcoholic drinks are typically divided into three classes beers, wines, and spirits and typically their alcohol content is between 3% and 50%.

酒精饮料通常分为三类：啤酒、葡萄酒和烈性酒，酒精含量一般在3%到50%之间。

Beer is a beverage fermented from grain mash. It is typically made from barley or a blend of several grains and flavored with hops. Most beer is naturally carbonated as part of the fermentation process. If the fermented mash is distilled, then the drink becomes a spirit.

啤酒是由谷糠发酵而成的饮料。它通常由大麦或几种谷物混合而成，用啤酒花调味。大多数啤酒是在发酵过程中自然碳化的。如果发酵的麦芽汁被蒸馏，那么这种饮料就变成了烈酒。

Wine is a fermented beverage produced from grapes and sometimes other fruits. Wine involves a longer fermentation process than beer and a long aging process (months or years), resulting in an alcohol content of 9%–16% ABV.

葡萄酒是一种发酵饮料，由葡萄或其他水果制成。葡萄酒的发酵过程比啤酒要长，陈酿过程也要长(数月或数年)，因此酒精含量为9%-16% ABV。

例：

He's addictive to alcohol.

他对酒上瘾了。

Because of alcoholic allergy, I couldn't drink too much, far away from the point of getting drunk.

因为天生酒精过敏，我不能喝很多酒，更别提喝醉了。
