Liquor may be consumed on its own (" neat"), typically in amounts of around 50 millilitres (1.7 US fluid ounces) per served drink. Like other alcoholic drinks, liquor is typically consumed for the psychoactive effects of alcohol. While the word liquor ordinarily refers to distilled alcoholic spirits rather than beverages produced by fermentation alone, it can sometimes be used more broadly to refer to any alcoholic beverage (or even non-alcoholic products of distillation or various other liquids). Liquors are often aged in barrels, such as for the production of brandy and whiskey, or are infused with flavorings to form flavored liquors, such as absinthe. Some examples of liquors include vodka, rum, gin, and tequila. As liquors contain significantly more alcohol ( ethanol) than other alcoholic drinks, they are considered "harder" in North America, the term hard liquor is sometimes used to distinguish distilled alcoholic drinks from non-distilled ones, whereas the term spirits is more common in the UK. The distillation process concentrates the liquid to increase its alcohol by volume. Other terms for liquor include: spirit, distilled beverage, spirituous liquor or hard liquor. Liquor ( / ˈ l ɪ k ər/ LIK-ər) is an alcoholic drink produced by the distillation of grains, fruits, vegetables, or sugar that have already gone through alcoholic fermentation.
