Morphology
The meaning 'a drink that contains alcohol' is directly and transparently derived from the adjective 'alcoholic' (containing alcohol) modifying the noun 'drink' (a beverage). This simple adjective+noun composition follows a common, cross-linguistic pattern and would be immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both words.
Etymology
Alcoholic drink names a drink that contains alcohol. The word alcohol came to mean the strong liquid found in beer, wine and spirits, so the phrase means a drink 'that can make you drunk'.
