What are Alcoholic Beverages?
Alcoholic beverages are a type of drink that contains ethyl alcohol, also known as ethanol, as the main active ingredient. They are manufactured through a process called fermentation, in which yeast or bacteria convert sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide. The level of alcohol in the drink may vary depending on the type of beverage and the fermentation process used. Additionally, they are consumed globally for a variety of reasons, including socializing, celebration, relaxation, and as a way to enhance the flavor of food. One of the most consumed alcoholic beverages includes beer and wine, which is a type of fermented drink prepared from barley, wheat, or rye. It generally has a lower alcohol content compared to other alcoholic beverages and comes in a wide range of flavors and styles. Another type of alcoholic beverage is wine, which is produced from fermented grapes and can have a variety of flavors and alcohol levels, depending on the type of grape and fermentation process used. On the other hand vodka, whiskey, gin, and rum, are distilled alcoholic beverages that have a much higher alcohol content.

As a result, many companies had to scale back their production or temporarily shut down their operations.
