Is alcohol food or entertainment? -

[Ughubughughughughughghlug]

Suppose you are drafting a budget, or maintaining a ledger of expenses. Do you classify alcohol as food since it goes down your throat, has caloric value, etc., or as entertainment because you don't consume it for nourishment?

 

[Bland Crumbs]

Clearly it should be filed under medicine.

 

[XYZpdq]

booze is important enough to have its own slot on the budget

 

[Medulseur]

you don't consume it for nourishment?

Well maybe YOU don't...

 

[Arkangel]

Booze by itself isn't food, but it can be an ingredient when you're cooking.

 

[supremeautismo]

Booze is a drug. A socially acceptable drug, but a drug nonetheless.

I love how booze shops are an 'essential business' right now. Because they damn are. Couldn't survive this nonsense without some high alcohol content liquor.

In the military the relevant classes of supply are:
Class I - Food, rations, and water.
Class VI - Personal items. This includes personal demand items such as mouthwash, deodorant, toothpaste, shampoo, wet wipes, toilet paper, snack food, writing paper, cigarettes, snacks, batteries, cameras, alcohol.

Alcohol is as much a food as junk food and cigarettes.

 

[Not Really Here]

If you have to write a budget in the first place, it goes in the 'unnecessary drug' column.

 

[CantThinkOfAUsername]

It's... in the "food" section of Kiwi Farms. So it's food.

 

[Idiotron]

It's like your parents always told you:
"Remember to eat all your alcohol."

 

[From The Uncanny Valley]

You consume it, and it comes in flavors, so...food?

 

[Troonos]

It's a recreational drug.

 

[XYZpdq]

it's easy to dismiss it as merely a drug, but beer can provide valuable carbs

 

[Mr. Skeltal]

Yes

 

[Fagnacious D]

Beer is basically liquid bread but better.
