البلدان الأكثر إستهلاكا للخمر ///Alcohol Consumption By Country

Alcohol is a regulated drug. It is made with grains, vegetables, or fruits that are put through fermentation, a process where yeast or bacteria reacts with the sugars in the food resulting in ethanol and carbon dioxide. Beer and wine are fermented alcohols. Spirits go through an additional distillation process that removes some of the water, leaving a higher alcohol concentration and more flavor.

Alcohol is classified as a depressant as it slows down motor functions, reaction times, and speech. Alcohol consumed in low amounts, such as a glass of beer or wine, is often used to “loosen up” and will have more of a stimulant effect. When consumed in larger amounts, the depressant effects will begin to set in.
