thanks for your help in [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
i hope it's okay if i ask some more lol
so there are 2 types of alcohol?
distilled (spirits) vs. fermented (beer and wine)?
beer and wine are not hard alcohol? are they "soft"?
spirits are the same thing as liquors? and are hard alcohol?
beer is from malt/yeast/barley/rice grains? and wine is from grapes?
and for hard liquor/spirits are vodka, gin, and rum from different sources too? i think whiskey, tequila, brandy are also among those. i think rum is from molasses. not sure about the others. they are like the basic ingredients to drinks like cosmopolitan and mojito, for example? because you don't drink those by themselves? are those considered mixed drinks or something?

There are technically three classes of alcohol: beers, wines and spirits. However, these can be broken down into further categories. Liquors are a type of spirit and are generally thought of as 'hard alcohol'. Beers and wines aren't commonly referred to as 'soft', although I suppose technically they are.
Beer is most commonly made from barely malt although different ingredients are added depending on what type of beer it is. Grapes are the main ingredients in wine.
Vodka, Gin and Whiskey are distilled from starches, mostly commonly corn and grain. Rum is distilled from molasses, Tequila from the Agave plant and Brandy from wine.
Spirits are usually mixed with other others and fruit juices to make cocktails such as Mojito and Cosmopolitan, or even just with drinks such as coke, lemonade and orange juice. They are also often taken in the form of shots. Many people also drink them straight, although not everyone likes the strong taste.
Thanks for inboxing.
