At root you can think of 'alcohol' as one particular clear liquid — the substance itself. Drinks like beer and wine are simply the things that carry that substance, which is why the same word ends up naming both the chemical in the bottle and the bottle's whole category of 'grown-up drinks'.
可以想成 alcohol 底層是「某種透明的液體本身」——就是那個物質。啤酒、紅酒這些，其實只是裝著這個物質的東西；正因為如此，同一個字才會既指瓶子裡那個化學成分，也順手指了整類「大人才能喝的飲料」。
