An alcoholic beverage is a drink containing ethanol (commonly called alcohol). Alcoholic beverages are divided into three general classes: beers, wines, and spirits. Alcoholic beverages are consumed in most countries of the world. According to the International Center for Alcohol Policies (ICAP), over 100 countries have laws that regulate their production, sale, and consumption. In particular, such laws specify the minimum age at which a person may legally buy or drink them. This minimum age varies between 16 and 25 years, depending upon the nation and the type of drink. Most nations set it at 18 years of age. The production and consumption of alcohol occurs in most cultures of the world, from hunter-gatherer peoples to nation-states. Alcoholic beverages are often an important part of social events in these cultures. In many cultures, drinking plays a significant role in social interaction — mainly because of alcohol’s neurological effects. Alcohol is a psychoactive drug that has a depressant effect. A high blood alcohol content is usually considered to be legal drunkenness because it reduces attention and slows reaction speed. Alcoholic beverages can be addictive, and the state of addiction to alcohol is known as alcoholism. From Wikipedia under the

Do you know where I can find GOOD non-alcoholic beverages? Asked by Brittany - Tue Feb 13 04:43:50 2007 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments A. If your local grocery store doesn't, then your local liquor store might. Realistically though, there are a LOT of different kinds of non-alcoholic beverages you can drink, but I suppose what you're looking for is something that tastes good, but doesn't have the liquor? You can always buy "mixes" that have no alcohol in them and make drinks out of them too... just substitute alcohol for something else. You'll have to try different things out. Good luck.
