alkoholtartalmú

Alkoholtartalmú is a Hungarian adjective meaning "containing alcohol." It is used to describe substances whose composition includes an alcoholic compound, most commonly ethanol. The term covers a range of products, including beverages, foods, medicines, cosmetics, and household or industrial solutions. It is distinct from alkoholmentes (alcohol-free) and from more general uses of alkoholos, which also denote the presence of alcohol but with varying specificity.

In beverages and foods, ethanol is the primary intoxicating ingredient in alcoholic drinks. Alcohol content is typically described as percent by volume (ABV). Labeling rules vary by country, but products with a measurable ethanol content are subject to alcohol-related regulation. Some classifications distinguish between alcoholic and non-alcoholic products; in many jurisdictions, non-alcoholic products must contain only very small amounts of ethanol (often below a regional threshold), while products above that threshold are labeled as containing alcohol.

In cosmetics, medicines and other consumer goods, ethanol and other simple alcohols are used as solvents, antiseptics, or preservatives. Common examples include hand sanitizers, perfumes, mouthwashes, and certain syrups. Concentrations can range from trace amounts to high percentages; ethanol is flammable and can cause irritation for some individuals. Product labeling, safety data sheets, and storage guidelines apply to ensure safe handling and use.

Health and safety considerations focus on the context of use. Ethanol is generally safe for consumption in moderate amounts, but excessive intake is harmful. Other alcohols, such as methanol or isopropanol, are toxic if ingested. Regulatory frameworks govern labeling, permitted concentrations, and consumer information to minimize risks in alcohol-containing products.
