 Learning Objectives:
At the end of the lesson, you can:
 
1. Identify the difference between non-alcoholic
beverages;
2. Present the different non-alcoholic and alcoholic
beverages; and
3. Discuss the physiology of alcohol and its effect on the body.
 What is
Beverage?
A beverage is any drink specifically prepared for
human consumption. This drink could quench thirst,
refresh feeling or stimulate behavior
 Its profitability may deem to increase by a careful selection of
appropriate beverages to offer and cautious process of preparation to avoid
wastage, pilferage, and spoilage. There are different types of beverages but
they are mainly classified based on their properties and ingredients.
Broadly there are two types of beverages:
 
 Alcoholic beverages and
 Non-Alcoholic beverages
These two types of beverages can be then further
classified as:
 Hot beverages and
 cold beverages.
Alcoholic Beverages
By definition, an alcoholic beverage is any potable liquid containing 1% to 75%
of Ethyl alcohol by volume. Alcohol is obtained either by fermentation or distillation.
The fermentation process took place when sugar in fruit or grain is converted into
alcohol by the action of bacteria. The degree of fermentation can be controlled.
Carbon dioxide, a byproduct, is retained for fizzy drinks like beers and champagne.
Distillation occurs when a fermented mash of fruit or grain is heated. Alcohol, which
evaporates at a lower temperature than water, is trapped and condensed to a liquid
by cooling. Pure distilled alcohol has no color, taste, or smell and is used in fortifying
other beverages such as liqueurs (sweetened after-dinner drinks). Pure alcohol is
blended with flavoring agents, coloring agents and water to get the desired drink.
NON-ALCOHOLIC
BEVERAGES
Non-Alcoholic Beverages available in bars include water, soda,
carbonated drinks, juices, coffee, tea, and flavors. Waters, Juices, and
soft drinks are the world’s most popular drinks originally consumed as
health and well-being beverages they have crossed over to become the
number one social beverage globally. These refreshing thirst-quenching
beverages have changed so much in recent years that we have witnessed
the introduction of low-calorie soft drinks, fruit juice, mineral water
mixtures, and unusual new flavors to meet consumer demands. The
worldwide soft drinks market consumes some 392 billion liters and is
growing by 5% per year. The United States remains the largest
consumer with over 23% of sales in volume despite the market's
maturity, followed by Latin America. China is enjoying the most
spectacular growth with an annual increase of over 15% (Datamonitor,
Canadean, 2012).
The alcoholic beverages
consist of:
Wine
 
This is an alcoholic beverage that is produced from a partial and/or complete
fermentation of the juice of fresh ripe grapes. Wine is the naturally fermented juice of
grapes. But if wine is produced or fermented from other sources or fruits, the name of the
source/fruit must be specified.
Example: Kasoy wine and coconut wine. In Europe, they make used of apple, berry,
pears, etc. and are called Schnapps.
Liqueurs or Cordials
Liqueur and cordial are two terms for the same thing: a distilled spirit flavored or
redistilled with fruits, flowers, plants, their juices or extracts, or other natural flavoring
materials, and sweetened with 2 ½ percent or more of sugar. To simplify matters we will use
the word liqueur. In addition to mixing into a wide and wild variety of cocktails, liqueurs have
two main functions: to begin and end a meal.
Beer
The term beer refers generically to ales, lagers, pilsners, and stouts, all
of which are made from water, malted grain usually barley), hops, and yeast.
In fact, the U.S. Standard of Identity uses the term malt beverage rather than
beer, defining it as ‘‘a beverage made by the alcoholic fermentation . . . in
potable brewing water, of malted barley with hops,’’ with or without various
commonly used ingredients, such as malted or unmated cereals and carbon
dioxide (CO2). Federal regulations also define beer’s minimum alcohol
content as one-half of 1 percent by volume.
Alcohol-based Cocktails
a cocktail is defined as any mixed alcoholic drink of one or more spirits
combined with other ingredients such as fruit juice, flavored syrup, or cream.
Cocktails are also referred to as "aperitifs," which simply alcoholic drinks is taken
before a meal to stimulate the appetite. It can be considered an appetizer or starter.
Early ingredients used in making alcoholic beverages
Early people fermented any ingredients that contain sugar.
 Honey
 Grapes
 Grains
 Sugarcanes
 Dates
 Milk
 Palm
 Peppers
 Berries
 Sesame seeds
 Pomegranate
 
Early and present-day uses of alcoholic beverages

 Religious site – Wines used as an offering to gods and goddesses. Today wine is already
used by the Catholics in their Holy Eucharist.
 
 Victories – Tribes or kingdoms celebrate by drinking after, winning a battle with another
bribe or kingdom. Today, showering and flushing of Champagne is common scene in the
celebration of victory in sports.
 
 Medicine – Distilled spirits were known before as aqua vitae in Latin and eaux de vie in
French which means water of life. They were used before as medicine. Today in some local
practices “a shot of gin and calamansi will take away your fever and colds”.
Early and present-day uses of alcoholic beverages

Weddings – Before a cup of ale was drunk by the bride and groom as part of the wedding
ceremony, hence the word bridal was derived. Bride and ale. Today the Jews still use wine as
part of the wedding ceremony.
 
Food and drink – Early European made wine and beer as part of their everyday meal.
Today, a meal for French or Italian could not be complete without a glass of wine, the same
with the Germans and Austrians wherein a day without a beer is an incomplete day.
Types of Non-Alcoholic
Beverages
1. Water- is the basis of all beverages both non-alcoholic and alcoholic. One of the
most water is natural water that is tapped from a natural drilled spring or well. Its
mineral salt content gives its specific properties, which is claimed to be beneficial to
health. It contains minerals like calcium, magnesium, sulfate bicarbonate, and
chlorine. There are two types of mineral water:
 
 still water or
 sparkling water.
2. SODA and CARBONATED DRINKS- include soft drinks either in a
bottle or in a can. They are locally called soft drinks
 
3.JUICES – are obtained from juice extract of fresh fruits. They contain natural
vitamins such as citric and malic acid. Some are made puree others are
concentrated. There are also those produced with artificial flavorings.
4. COFFEE- is a drink prepared out of coffee beans. Coffee cultivation began in the area of Caffa
in Abyssinia around 1000 years ago. From there it spread through Arabia, Turkey and other Islamic
countries. It was brought into Europe by trading companies and a few centuries later it was
transported across the oceans into the newly discovered world.
5. Teas- Iced tea, milk teas, and special teas
Physiology of alcohol
Ethanolis – an alcohol present in an alcoholic beverage and it is a form of drug known as tranquilizer.
 
 What is considered one drink or the equivalent of one drink?
One drink is equal to a 12 oz beer, 5 oz wine or 1 ½ oz 80-proof liquor (distilled spirit).
 
In Metric measurement: One drink is a 360 ml or one bottle of beer, 150 ml wine or 45 ml 80-proof
liquor (distilled spirit).
 
Note: if you drink a mixed drink that contains 3 oz of liquor, that is not
considered one drink; it is considered two drinks because it contained
twice the amount of alcohol
What do we mean by “Proof”?
 
Alcohol proof is the amount of alcohol in the liquor or liqueur. It is usually twice the percentage of alcohol
by volume. Example: 80-proof means 40% alcohol by volume, 100-proof is 50%, 151-proof is 75.5% of 1
proof is equals to .5% alcohol by volume.
 
 Does mixing of different kinds of drinks make a person get drunk more?
No, it doesn’t. the alcohol in the drinks makes a person drunk, not the different kinds.
 
 Will some drinks or mix can get you drunk faster than others?

Mixed drinks that contain carbonated beverages will get a person drunk faster than mixed drinks that don’t
have any carbon dioxide. Example: A “Gin and sprite” will get you drunk faster than a “screw driver.”
 Note: Carbon dioxide speeds up the absorption of alcohol into your bloodstream.
 Does drinking a lot of coffee or taking a very cold shower help you sober up quickly?
No, they won’t. The only thing that can help you sober up is “TIME.” Coffee and a cold shower might help
you stay awake, but they won’t help you sober up quickly.

 Does eating a lot of food before drinking help keep a person from getting drunk?
No, it will not. Eating before drinking slows down the absorption of alcohol into your bloodstream. You will
get drunk, but it will take a little bit longer.

 How long will alcohol stay in your system?

It all depends on how much alcohol you take and how fast; it also depends on some other factors like
weight and sex and the physical condition.
 
 Alcohol can be deadly.
Alcohol is considered poison if taken in too much dosage. If you drink too much and too fast,
it can kill you. Drink in moderation!
 
 Things to keep in mind if you are going to have drinking session.
1. Eat something before you start drinking. If you drink beer at least half full of your stomach
and if spirits at least more than half full for you to somehow enjoy the drinking.
2. One drink is a12 oz beer, 5 oz wine or 1 ½ oz 80-proof liquor (distilled spirit).
3. Don’t drink too much and too fast.
 
4. Carbonated mixed drinks get you drunk faster than non-carbonated.
5. Mixing different kinds of drink doesn’t get you more drunk. The amount of alcohol does.
6. Coffee and a cold shower don’t help you to sober up.
7. The only thing that can help you sober up is “TIME.”
8. DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE!
Parts of the body where alcohol goes after drinking:
 
1. Brain
2. Heart
3. Lungs
4. Liver
5. Kidney
 Beneficial effects of alcohol if taken in moderate dosage
 
1. Relaxing
2. Stimulates the senses and appetite
3. Heightening pleasure

 Negative effects of alcohol if taken in too much dosage – if taken in too much dosage, the
alcohol becomes toxic that it impairs the following brain and body functions:
 
1. It impairs motor ability
2. It impairs muscular coordination
3. It impairs eyesight
4. It impairs night vision
5. It delays reaction time
6. It relaxes inhibitions
Health and Alcohol
Sickness due to alcohol:
1. Cirrhosis – inflammation of the liver or liver cancer. It impairs the ability of the liver to
filter waste materials in the body.
2. Gall Stone – the presence of uric acid crystals in the gall bladder. It impairs the
release of the bile that helps digestions.
3. Kidney Stone – the presence of uric acid crystals in the kidney. It impairs the ability of the
kidney to release waste materials from the body.
Example:
1. Cirrhosis
2. Gall Stone
3. Kidney Stone
