This is traditionally any of a variety of red wines with "mulling" spices added, and heated almost to a boil and served during colder weather, this originates in Europe.

What does small amounts of alcohol do to the body?
From the first sip, alcohol is absorbed into the bloodstream and reaches the brain which deteriorates further the more you drink. Cognitive abilities that are acquired later in life, such as conduct and behaviour, are the first to go. Early on you will experience mild euphoria and loss of inhibition, as alcohol impairs regions of the brain controlling behaviour and emotion. Most vulnerable are the brain cells associated with memory, attention, sleep and coordination.

In simple terms alcohol is the commonplace name of ethanol, an organic compound produced in nature by the anaerobic metabolism of sugars by yeasts (fermentation).
It is also the chemical term for a class of organic compounds whose principal functional group is the hydroxy or -OH radical. Ethanol is a member of this class of compounds and has the formula CH3CH2OH or C2H5OH.
Ethanol is completely miscible in water, as it shares the capacity to hydrogen bond courtesy of the -OH group. Think of water as H-OH and you see the similarity. Ethanol is more volatile than water, boiling at 79 Celsius and can be readily separated from a mixture of water and ethanol by distillation.
Alchohol is, ironically, derived from the Arabic for aqua vitae or water of life. Presumably so named because imbibing modest quantities creates a rather more animated human being than normal. Of course, imbibed to excess, alcohol also creates the opposite condition, namely death. It is a testament to the will power of our ancestors that they didn't name it aqua mortis.
It is not dangerous to drink alcohol in moderation. To the contrary, it contributes to better health and greater longevity than abstaining from alcohol. However, the abuse of alcohol is dangerous and raises the risk of accidents, ill health, etc.
