"You cannot make an alcoholic drink with water."

OP: "Oh Yes You Can Use Water to Make A Hard Drink. AH! But if I freeze water and pour in whiskey, I've used water to make an alcoholic drink."

What is hard seltzers?

Hard seltzer is a popular alcoholic drink that combines alcohol with flavored carbonated water. Compared to many other alcoholic drinks, hard seltzer is lower in alcohol content, calories, and sugar.

> combines alcohol with flavored carbonated water

COMBINES. That's exactly what I'm getting at. Water (alone) cannot make an alcoholic drink. Neither can regexes (alone) parse HTML. But of course, you can suspend alcohol within carbonated water and make a hard drink. In the same way you can utilize regexes to parse HTML.
