Wine & Beer are good drink they say. Whiskey Rum Vodka Gin are hard for your body. Then what is difference Between A Spirit Beer & Wine when they all have alcohol.

Answer:
All alcoholic beverages are made by allowing solutions of sugar and water to undergo fermentation--a process by which yeast converts the sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide.

If the sugar solution is made from malted grain then the product is beer. The grain is usually barley, but is sometimes wheat and occasionally has the addition of rye, oats, buckwheat, etc. In the case of cheap beer, the barley is extended with corn or rice.

If the sugar solution is made from grapes then the product is wine. Other fermented beverages can be made from other ingredients, such as sake (rice), mead (honey), cider (apples) and perry (pears).

Regardless of what the solution is made from, it can be transformed into a spirit by distilling it. This is done by heating the fermented liquid past the boiling point of alcohol, but still under the boiling point of water. The "alcoholic steam" is collected and condensed back into a liquid. Spirits are therefore much higher in alcohol than beer, wine, and other undistilled beverages.

Different spirits are typically made from different fermented ingredients. For example: whiskey is made from grain, tequila is made from blue agave cactus, brandy is made from fruit, rum is made from sugar cane, and vodka can be made from grain or potatoes.

Typically, beers range in alcohol from 3% to 6% by volume, with some as high as 11% (or higher). Wine is typically 11% to 14% alcohol by volume. Spirits are anywhere from about 20% to 95%, although most states won't let you buy anything as strong as 95%. The average spirit (say Grey Goose vodka or Jack Daniel's whiskey) is 40% alcohol.

Because spirits are much higher in alcohol, they can get a person intoxicated on a much smaller amount. Likewise, a much smaller amount of a spirit can be medically damaging to the body. However, beer, wine, and other fermented beverages can all get a person just as intoxicated and can all cause just as many health problems (although wine does contain cancer fighting antioxidants).

I hope this helps. Sorry for the enormously long answer.
Beer is for beginners, you move onto wine, and you evolve onto Spirits before you realize you have a problem.
