Alcoholism

FYI,

Do you really think drinking alcoholic beverages will help you escape problems and depression? Nah, I don't think so. I have learned before, in our Bar Service Management Subject, that too much intake of alcohol can cause cancer of the kidney or worse, death . So, if you got a lot of problems, drinking isn't the solution. Why not face it or tell it to your friends instead of being alone in your house taking beers as your companions. That's why we do have friends to talk to. By the way, speaking of alcohols, do you know that their are only 6 types of alcoholic beverages?

(1)Wine usually has an alcohol content of between 10 and 15 percent, and is made by dignetation of grape juice. Here are the examples. Ops, some are just empty bottles. And under wines, we have (a)red, (b)white, (c)rose, (d)light red wine, (e)dry white wine, (f)dry rose wine and (g)full bodied red wine.  I didn't know if there's missing. Google it if you wanna know. Haha





The second one was (2)beer. It's so popular, that's why I don't have to post a photo just to illustrate.

The third one was (3)brandy. Brandy is a general term for distilled wine. Unless specified otherwise, brandy is made from grape wine. There are 3 different types of brandy, grape, pomace and fruit.



Fourth, the (4)spirits. And for the different types of spirit, we have vodka which are distilled from potatoes and filtered through charcoal. The other one is rum, and it is made from sugarcane by.products such as molasses and sugar cane juice. And under rum, we have dark and light. Another type of spirit is gin. It's a strong alcoholic beverage and it's ideal for mixing with many fruit juices and liqueurs to create cocktail drinks and its two types are Dutch and English gin. The forth type of spirit is tequila. And the last one was whisky. There are so many types of tequila and whisky. I know you'll get bored if I'll enumerate it.

I guess Korean Soju belongs to spirit because it's somehow comparable to vodka.





Fifth type of alcohol is (5)liqueurs and bitters. The picture below is Baileys Irish Cream and it is an Irish whiskey and cream based liqueur, made by Gilbeys of Ireland. It's so yummy! Even kids can try this, ofcourse with the guide of their parents.



And the last is (6)cocktail, which is a style of mixed drink.



By the way, this Mirin is a Japanese cooking wine or rice wine. I actually didn't know which type did this fall into.

Hey yah! Here's the set of my Dad's beverage collection!

I hope this post helps you gain information about alcohols. Cheers for me!

Ps. If you'll ask me if I have already tasted all these different kinds of alcoholic beverages, my answer's "YES!". We had our Bar Service Examination last year and, Sparkling White Wine is the BEST! Nomnomnom!
