There are three words Liquor, Alcohol and Intoxicant. Which word can be used in general for any alcoholic drink? That is, if I say, 'wine' does it present any drink or is it a particular drink?

Liquor usually refers to "hard" alcohol, that which has been distilled.
Wine is a particular drink, usually made from fermented grapes.
Alcohol and intoxicant are general words, and although people do say "let's have some alcohol" or "let's get intoxicated" it is more usual to say
Let's go for a drink.
with the alcohol being understood.
There are also many synonyms and slang terms such as booze, snifter which can easily be found with a thesaurus.

Intoxicant is more general than alcohol, there are other chemicals which will intoxicate you.

@PeteKirkham yes, and alcohol has other used besides being an intoxicant.

@WeatherVane I think Pete's point is that, just like all liquor is alcohol, all alcohol is an intoxicant. So it's a further generalization.

@BrianR I understood that, which is why I said "yes". My point was that not all alcohol is used as an intoxicant, except I mis-spelled "uses".
