Alcoholic drinks are beverages which contain ethanol (CH₃CH₂OH).  Ethanol is an addictive psychoactive drug and depressant.  Alcohol has been found in society for thousands of years and in some cases was used in a medicinal capacity.  According to Proverbs 31:6-7 the Bible recommends giving alcohol to those who are dying or depressed, so that they can forget their misery, although in nearly all other places drinking is heavily discouraged.

Alcohol, like [[marijuana]] and [[nicotine]], are considered to be [[gateway drugs]], and some users later turn to even more dangerous drugs such as [[cocaine]], [[methamphetamine]], and [[heroin]]. The [[Bible]] very specifically prohibits consumption, or perhaps over-consumption, of such drinks. Although most people ignore the warnings to their considerable peril.
