Hello and welcome back! Something very special is about to happen. The glorious month of June arrives, and we're celebrating in a time-honored fashion: We're raising our glasses in a weeklong toast to beer, wine, and spirits! Cheers!
ALCOHOL 酒、アルコール
- Alcohol is what we call drinks such as beer, wine, and whiskey. It is also the specific ingredient in such drinks that causes you to feel happy or relaxed.
- alcohol は、ビール、ワイン、ウイスキーなどの飲み物のことを言います。また、こうした飲み物に入っている特定の成分で、飲んだ人を幸せな気分にしたり、リラックスさせたりする成分としてのアルコールをさすこともあります。
- a: Would you like a beer?
b: No thanks. I don't drink alcohol. - (a store clerk to a 17-year old)
I'm sorry, but we can't sell alcohol to minors. - Most beers are about 4 to 6% alcohol. Red, white, and sparkling wines contain about 10 to 14% alcohol.
- (ordering at a bar)
Do you have anything without alcohol? - I knew he had been drinking, because I could smell the alcohol on his breath.
We'll be back for another round of drinks tomorrow. Please join us then!
