person addicted to alcohol
A person who cannot control how much alcohol they drink and has a strong need to drink.
ব্যবহারের ধরন:
[someone] is (an) alcoholic
সাধারণ ভুল:
Learners sometimes think "alcoholic" always means "containing alcohol" and may say things like *"There were many alcoholics at the party"* when they mean *"There were many alcoholic drinks at the party."* Use the noun "alcoholic" only for a person who is addicted to alcohol, not for the drinks themselves.

containing alcohol for drinking
Containing alcohol that people drink, like beer, wine, or cocktails.
ব্যবহারের ধরন:
[someone] drink[s] an alcoholic [drink]
সাধারণ ভুল:
Learners sometimes say *"alcohol drink"* instead of the natural phrase *"alcoholic drink"* or *"alcoholic beverage"*. Use the adjective form "alcoholic" before "drink" or "beverage". Also, do not use this adjective to describe people; say *"He is an alcoholic"* (noun), not *"He is alcoholic"* in most everyday contexts.
সমার্থক শব্দ
alcohol-based (Often used more for products like hand gel or perfume; sounds slightly more technical than "alcoholic" for drinks.)
|
boozy (Informal and sometimes playful; can describe drinks, events, or atmospheres with a lot of alcohol.)
বিপরীতার্থক শব্দ
non-alcoholic (Direct opposite; describes drinks that do not contain any alcohol, or have almost none.)

caused by long-term alcohol use
Caused by drinking too much alcohol for a long time, especially in medical conditions.
ব্যবহারের ধরন:
[someone] has alcoholic [condition]
সাধারণ ভুল:
Learners often do not notice that "alcoholic" before a medical noun means the condition is caused by alcohol. For example, *"alcoholic liver disease"* is not a liver disease that drinks alcohol, but a liver disease caused by alcohol use.
সমার্থক শব্দ
alcohol-related (Slightly broader and more general; can refer to any issue linked to alcohol, not only medical conditions.)
বিপরীতার্থক শব্দ
non-alcoholic (In medical contexts, often used in contrasts like "non-alcoholic fatty liver disease" to show the condition is not caused by alcohol.)
