A spirit is a generic term for any alcoholic drink that is not a Beer or Wine. Anything ranging from a straight shot to a Frozen margarita is a spirit, and it derives from bad translations of European languages to English.

Alcohol, in its basic meaning, is a hydroxyl compound such as ethanol or methanol. Fermentation is the process by which an organic substance (usually a sugar) is converted by a single-celled microorganism such as yeast into alcohol. A spirit is distilled alcohol. Spirits distillation is the process of heating a fermented liquid, evaporating off the alcohol as vapor, and then condensing it back into liquid form.

A spirit is anything stronger than beer or wine. As a rough measure, if it's more than about 40 proof, it's a spirit. For reference, most distilled spirits in the US(whiskey, gin, rum, tequila, etc.) are sold at about 80 proof.
