Alcohol Market - Snapshot
Alcohol refers to the ingredient that is found in spirits, wine, and beer and its absorption leads to drunkenness. Alcohol is produced as a result of fermentation of sugars in various food done by yeasts. For instance, wine is produced from sugar found in grapes, cider is extracted out of the sugar found in apples, beer made from the sugar founded in malted barley and vodka from the sugar found in beets and potatoes.
Alcohol is classified as a ‘sedative hypnotic’ drug. It means that alcohol acts to slow down the central nervous system (CVS) at substantially high doses. At lower doses of alcohol, it induces feelings of talkativeness and euphoria and it acts like a stimulant. However, drinking of too much of alcohol at one go often leads to respiratory problems, drowsiness, or even death.
