Beginner, Trouble with OR operators

Question

Code:
print('How old are you?')
age=int(input())
if age<21:
print('You\'re underaged? get out of my bar!')
if age>=21:
print('Alright! ' + 'What would you like to drink?')
drink=input()
if drink =='beer':
print('*pours beer*')
print('There you are!')
elif drink =='whiskey'or 'vodka' or 'alcohol' or 'rum':
print('*pours shot of '+ drink + '*')
print('There you are!')
else:
print('We don\'t serve that here')

Issue:
My problem is that you can input anything as a drink and it will print "print('*pours shot of '+ drink + '*')". so you can input 'cheese' and my virtual bartender will pour you a shot of cheese.

Can someone explain why this is not working?

Answer 1

I think the problem is in the

elif drink == 'whiskey' or 'vodka' or 'alcohol' or 'rum'

change it to

elif drink == 'whiskey' or drink == 'vodka' or drink == 'alcohol' or drink == 'rum':

you can also do

elif drink in ['whiskey', 'vodka', 'alcohol', 'rum']:
print('*pours shot of' + drink + '*')

And try again... If that doesn't fix it then I will try something else

Answer 2

Your elif should be like this

elif drink == "whiskey" or drink == "vodka" or....

Answer 3

@Utkarsh Sharma. That worked!

That makes sense, this was the first time I used OR operators.

I'm trying to update this little exercise code as I learn the new things to make it more concise, so I'll probably change it to the second thing you suggested once I get there.
