  1. Vodka is a type of alcohol.  Malibu and Smirnoff are brands of different alcohols.

    Smirnoff is vodka.

  5. Alcohol for sores......  

  6. Rum, vodka, gin, whiskey, vermouth, scotch, tequlia champagne, burbon,

    Malibu and smirnoff are brands.  NOT a spirit.  However, champagne falls in the wine category.   All the others are spirits.

    Liquours are different as well.  they are things like Kululah, and stuff like that.

  7. The three major categories of alcohol are beer, wine, and spirits.  Obviously, as you've already said, you know what beer and wine are. The term spirits refers to distilled alcohol. Some examples of spirits are: brandy, gin, whiskey, rum, tequila, and vodka.

    Vodka is one of the more popular spirits, and my absolute favorite. Malibu is a brand that makes various flavored rums. Coconut is their most popular flavor. Smirnoff is a brand that produces vodka.

    As I stated earlier, vodka is my drink of choice. And when I drink vodka, I drink Smirnoff because it is good quality but also very inexpensive. Smirnoff vodka is probably one of the most inexpensive spirits available. And I'm not sure if you are planning on drinking or if you are just curious, but I would highly recommend Smirnoff Green Apple Twist. It is my favorite.

    I hope I helped!

  8. Liquors

  9. Vodka is one of the world's most popular distilled beverages. It is a clear liquid containing water and ethanol purified by distillation — often multiple distillation — from a fermented substance such as potatoes, grain (usually rye or wheat) or sugar beet molasses, and an insignificant amount of other substances such as flavorings or unintended impurities.

    Malibu is a brand of rum. Rum is a distilled beverage made from sugarcane by-products such as molasses and sugarcane juice by a process of fermentation and distillation. The distillate, a clear liquid, is then usually aged in oak and other barrels. The majority of the world's rum production occurs in and around the Caribbean islands and in several South American countries, such as Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana and Brazil, though there are rum producers in places such as Australia, Fiji, India, Reunion Island, Mauritius, and elsewhere around the world.

    Smirnoff is a brand of vodka.

  18. _A brief description of alcoholic beverages

    Wines are made from a variety of fruits, such as grapes,

    peaches, plums or apricots. The most common wines are

    produced from grapes. The soil in which the grapes are

    grown and the weather conditions in the growing season

    determine the quality and taste of the grapes which in

    turn affects the taste and quality of wines. When ripe, the

    grapes are crushed and fermented in large vats to produce wine.

    Beer is also made by the process of fermentation. A liquid

    mix, called wort, is prepared by combining yeast and

    malted cereal, such as corn, rye, wheat or barely.

    Fermentation of this liquid mix produces alcohol and carbon dioxide. The process of fermentation is stopped

    before it is completed to limit the alcohol content. The

    alcohol so produced is called beer. It contains 4 to 8 per

    cent of alcohol.

    Vodka is one of the world's most popular distilled beverages. It is a clear liquid containing water and ethanol purified by distillation, often multiple distillation, from a fermented substance such as potatoes, grain (usually rye or wheat) or sugar beet molasses, and an insignificant amount of other substances such as flavorings or unintended impurities.

    Whiskey is made by distilling the fermented juice of cereal

    grains such as corn, rye or barley. Scotch whiskey was originally made in Scotland. The word "Scotch" has become

    almost synonymous with whiskey of good quality.

    Rum is a distilled beverage made from fermented

    molasses or sugarcane juice and is aged for at least three

    years. Caramel is sometimes used for coloring.

    Brandy is distilled from fermented fruit juices. Brandy is

    usually aged in oak casks. The color of brandy comes

    either from the casks or from caramel that is added.

    Gin is a distilled beverage. It is a combination of alcohol,

    water and various flavors. Gin does not improve with

    age, so it is not stored in wooden casks.

    Liqueurs are made by adding sugar and flavoring such as

    fruits, herbs or flowers to brandy or to a combination of

    alcohol and water. Most liqueurs contain 20-65 per cent

    alcohol. They are usually consumed in small quantities

    after dinner.
