It's safe to say it's an alcoholic drink. It doesn't have to be 100% alcohol.
I don't agree with that. No one drinks cider for its alcohol content. There are ciders with 1% to 2% ABV. I don't understand the need to call them as alcohol. Alcohol is just one of the minor constituents.
I dunno, I think usually when people drink cider it's to get blissed by the apple (or pear in this case

). And I think most ciders are more than 1-2% though.
