The Americans seem to call spirits and liqueurs 'alcohol' and beer & wine - beer & wine.
Whereas, here in Australia, it is all alcohol, just divided into spirits (gin, whisky/whiskey, rum, brandy etc) liqueurs (Tia Maria, Cointreau, Frangelico etc) (overall, it's liquor), beer and wine.
No aspersions, just noting - confused me until I worked it out
