What is the difference between Khamr (wine) and Arak, what is the ruling concerning them both, and how does one repent from consuming them?

"Arak" is a type of prohibited alcoholic beverage due to its intoxicating nature. It falls under the prohibition mentioned in the Hadith: "People from my Ummah will drink intoxicants, calling them by other names." Repentance from drinking it involves abstaining from it, regretting having drunk it, and sincerely resolving never to return to it.
