That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
Alcohol is not considered an essential nutrient because it does not provide any essential vitamins, minerals, or other nutrients necessary for the body's normal functioning. While it does contain calories, it is not necessary for survival and can actually have negative effects on health when consumed in excess. Essential nutrients, such as fats, vitamins, and proteins, are required for various bodily functions and must be obtained through diet.
