"तुम शराब पीते हो।"

Translation: You drink alcohol.

[AJ72T]

शराब comes from the Arabic word شَرَاب‎ (šarāb). Interestingly, the English word alcohol is also from Arabic: possibly from, اَلْكُحْل‎ (al-kuḥl) In English we have the related words Sherbet and Sorbet, which are not normally alcoholic!

[Shrinath121]

Apart from sharab, another word used by local speakers is daruu.

[ErfanRezamand]

daruu origins from persian word daruu means medicine and sharab even though is Arabic in root but origins from persian sharab the same meaning

[Sninguistics]

Hindi also has sharbat/शरबत, which refers to nonalcoholic fruit drinks I believe.

[ErfanRezamand]

sharbat/शरबत roigins from persian the same meaning

[dianaprince.7]

Hindi does borrow a lot of words from arabic. The Sanskrit-derived counterpart of alcohol is "madira"

[Akash_Polyglot]

In turkish too Sarap

[WickeyMuis]

I've always thought that "sharab" can also mean "poison". Is this true?

[varshatoma]

No, we refer to poison as 'zeher'. But technically too much of sharab is poison!

[KhushiChau809039]

This is not a good question

[hemshree2]

Nonsense
