Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant which slows down messages between the brain and the body. It contains ethyl alcohol or ethanol which is the intoxicating ingredient in beer, wine, and liquor. Alcohol is produced by the fermentation of yeast, sugars, and starches. Alcohol is usually a liquid that is drunk. Its color and packaging vary widely, and types include beer, wine, and liquor.
Alcoholism is a chronic disease resulting in a physical and emotional dependence on alcohol. Symptoms include a strong need or urge to use alcohol despite negative consequences, problems controlling drinking, and having withdrawal symptoms when alcohol consumption is decreased or stopped altogether.
