Liquor in the nine days
Drinking wine in the nine days is
prohibited
The רמ"א* writes,
that wine vinegar is permissible in the 9 days.
The (מקור חיים (בכרך writes
that the Minhag is to refrain from חומץ יין & יין שרף
3 days before Tisha B'av.
The accepted translation today
of יין שרף is "liquor/ whiskey"
I think** (ליבי אומר לי)
that the מקור חיים was referring only to wine brandy and not
malt/corn whiskey.
I am not aware of any Poskim who
prohibit whiskey in the nine days
*תקנ"א סעיף י"א
