Alcohol

Alcohol results from the action of yeast on sugar. Extensive consumption would result in a state known as "drunkenness". It was drunk, used, seen, and even occasionally manufactured by the Doctor, his companions and various other individuals.

Wine

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