酒杯 (jiǔ bēi) refers to a cup or glass used for drinking alcohol. It is specifically associated with alcoholic beverages, distinguishing it from general-purpose cups.

The character 酒 (jiǔ) means 'alcohol' or 'wine,' and 杯 (bēi) means 'cup' or 'glass.' Together, they form a compound that directly describes a vessel for drinking alcohol, emphasizing its function and cultural context.
