DefinitionShort: an intoxicating drink made from grain
Glosses: beer
Comments: Though σίκερα may have a generic meaning and thus refer to any type of intoxicating drink, in the NT it occurs only in {S:04200101500020}, where it contrasts with wine and refers to intoxicating beverages made from grain. Distilled alcoholic beverages, such as whiskey, gin, and vodka, were not known in the ancient world.
