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 damages all the major organs of the
body. Alcohol is a depressant drug, not a
stimulant as erroneously believed. Pure
alcohol is colorless and tasteless. Alcoholic
drinks vary in color and taste because of the
ingredients used to flavor them.
