# Understanding Beverage Alcohol transactions

As indicated in the previous workflows, beverage alcohol transactions use the [CreateTransaction](https://developer.avalara.com/api-reference/avatax/rest/v2/methods/Transactions/CreateTransaction/), Shipping Verification, and Age Verification APIs. Before describing the shipping and age verification APIs, you should first understand how to create a beverage alcohol transaction.

The topics in this section describes the fields that you must include in your integration to create beverage alcohol transactions. You can see these parameters in use in the upcoming Examples milestone.

**Advice:** Transactions can include a combination of alcohol and non-alcohol lines. In these cases, the shipping verification APIs will treat all non-alcohol lines as unsupported.
