The Third Doctor enjoys some wine. (DW: Day of the Daleks)

Alcohol was ethanol diluted into a drink with an inebriating effect. It was consumed, used, seen and even occasionally manufactured by the Doctor, his companions and various other individuals.

Alcohol in general

Different species had different reactions to alcohol. Humans and Threllips were known to get drunk after drinking too much alcohol. (BFA: Living Legend) The various species of Sentarion had a stronger resistance to alchol than humans. (NA: Shakedown) Gallifreyans were more resistant yet. They could easily shrug off the effects of alcohol when they needed to. (PDA: The Quantum Archangel, MA: The Sorcerer's Apprentice, DW: The Girl in the Fireplace) As with humans, however, excessive consumption could produce a hangover. (BBCR: Slipback) Ginger beer would reduce their ability to tolerate alcohol. (BFA: The Kingmaker)

Some cultures were opposed to the drinking of alcohol. In the early 20th century, there was a prohibition of alcohol in America. (TW: Immortal Sins, NA: Blood Harvest) In a parallel universe, alcohol was banned in 21st century Great Britain, though the law was so poorly enforced that bootleg liquor was served at a party attended by the President of Great Britain. (DW: Rise of the Cybermen) The Saraani religion forbade the drinking of alcohol. (BNA: Dry Pilgrimage) The various species of Sentarion were opposed to the drinking of alcohol, though they had no problems with aliens doing so and even made Rekkar themselves. (NA: Shakedown) Alpha Centaurans never drank alcohol and didn't see the appeal of it. (MA: The Dark Path)

Wine

Wine was a drink made from pressed fruit, usually some form of grape. It was commonly found on Earth.

Beer was created by the fermentation of barley and hops in water. The farming of hops for this purpose may have been have been what caused humanity to first switch from a hunter-gatherer society to an agricultural one. (BNA: Walking to Babylon)
