Yeah, primarily in the US and Canada, "cider" is a non-alcoholic drink that's basically less filtered, unsweetened apple juice (it also tends to be made with a little bit lower quality apples than juice, but that's not universal). For it to refer to an alchoholic beverage, it has to be "hard cider". But I hear in many other countries, just "cider" itself is an alcoholic beverage.

I mean, driving through anywhere there's large quantities of apple orchards here in the US, they have hot cider available (which is soooooo good, especially when it's nice and cold out), and there's no question it's non-alcoholic (considering I just turned 21 earlier this year, the legal drinking age in the US, and I haven't been to where there's an apple orchard in a few years, so they wouldn't have given me any if I had tried to buy it and it was alcoholic). Plus, there's the custom of putting "hard" in front of beverage names to indicate it has alcohol in it (Mike's Hard Lemonade is a great example of that), haha
