# are there any americans about at this time?
i have a burning question to ask thee. namely: is cider generally an alcoholic or a non-alcoholic drink?

sorry, but i need to know!

# Cider is used...
primarily as an alternative to alcohol. It's often served to children and non-drinkers during Thanksgiving and Christmas. What brought about that question?

# cos it's definitely an alcoholic drink in the uk
can you imagine if beer was a non-alcoholic drink? that's how weird it seems to me.

edit: let's make it clear that i'm not calling americans weird- it's equally weird for ppl on both sides of the atlantic

# We have beer in the US...
that is called non-alcoholic. Even minors can buy it I think. It's got just a bit of alcohol in it, but far too little to get anyone drunk. I've heard it tastes like piss.

alcoholic cider is called "hard cider" or sometimes "strong cider". cider being basically fizzy fermented apple juice, hard cider being fermented enough to produce alcohol.
