Not exactly true. In Russian language, 'myod' is both honey (the most widespread meaning of the word) and alcoholic drink made of honey, water and juice (archaic, mostly remembered due to fairy tales; but I think our old USSR cookbook does contain a recipe for drink made out of honey and named with the same word; granted, there are many different recipes, and different names, for drinks made with addition of honey).

Thank you. Best wishes.
