 Alcohol is a powerful drug. Alcoholic drinks contain
the drug “ethanol” (ethyl alcohol). It is a toxic and
poisonous drug. It poisons the body if taken in large
quantities simply or in combination with other drugs.

Alcohol is a depressant drug, not a stimulant as
erroneously believed. Pure alcohol is colorless and

because of the ingredients used to flavor them.
