A carbonated beverage A carbonated beverage A drink, or beverage, is a liquid specifically prepared for human consumption. In addition to basic needs, beverages form part of the culture of human society.

Essential to the survival of all organisms,1 water has historically been an important and life-sustaining drink to humans. Excluding fat, water composes approximately 70% of the human body by mass. It is a crucial component of metabolic processes and serves as a solvent for many bodily solutes. Health authorities have historically suggested at least eight glasses, eight fluid ounces each, of water per day 64 fluid ounces, or 1.89 litres,23 and the British Dietetic Association recommends 1.8 litres.1 The United States Environmental Protection Agency has determined that the average adult actually ingests 2.0 litres per day.3 Distilled pure water is rarely found in nature.4 Spring water, a natural resource from which much bottled water comes, is generally imbued with minerals. Tap water, delivered by domestic water systems in developed nations, refers to water piped to homes through a tap. All of these forms of water are commonly drunk, often purified through filtration.5 Orange juice Orange juice Alcoholic beverages Main article: Alcoholic beverage An alcoholic beverage is a drink containing ethanol, commonly known as alcohol, although in chemistry the definition of an alcohol includes many other compounds. Alcoholic beverages, such as wine, beer, and liquor have been part of human culture and development for 8,000 years.6 Non-alcohol beverages Main article: Non-alcoholic beverage Non-alcoholic beverages are drinks that would normally contain alcohol, such as beer and wine but are made with less than .5 percent alcohol by volume. The category includes drinks that have undergone an alcohol removal process such as non-alcoholic beers and de-alcoholized wines. Non-alcoholic variants: Low alcohol beer Non-alcoholic wine Sparkling cider Soft drinks Main article: Soft drink The name soft drink specifies a lack of alcohol by way of contrast to the term hard drink and the term drink, the latter of which is nominally neutral but often carries connotations of alcoholic content. Beverages like colas, sparkling water, iced tea, lemonade, squash, and fruit punch are among the most common types of soft drinks, while hot chocolate, hot tea, coffee, milk, tap water, alcohol, and milkshakes do not fall into this classification. Many carbonated soft drinks are optionally available in versions sweetened with sugars or with non-caloric sweeteners. Hot beverages A cup of coffee A cup of coffee Hot beverages, including infusions. Sometimes drunk chilled. Coffee-based beverages Cappuccino Coffee Espresso Café au lait Frappé Flavored coffees mocha etc. Latte Hot chocolate Hot cider Mulled cider Glühwein Tea-based beverages Flavored teas chai etc. Green tea Pearl milk tea Tea Herbal teas Roasted grain beverages Sanka Other Some substances may either be called food or drink, and accordingly be eaten with a spoon or drunk, depending on solid ingredients in it and on how thick it is, and on preference: Soup Yogurt Measuring drinks UK US Unit fl. oz UK ml fl. oz US ml dash 1/48 0.592 1/48 0.616 teaspoon 1/8 3.55 1/6 4.93 tablespoon 1/2 14.2 1/2 14.8 fluid ounce or pony 1 28.413 1 29.574 shot, bar glass or jigger 3/2 42.6 3/2 44.4 can of Coke 11.6 330 11.2 330 pint 20 568 16 473 bottle of spirits 24.6 700 23.7 700 bottle of wine 26.4 750 25.4 750 See also Wikibooks Wikibooks Cookbook has an article on Beverages Drinking Soft drinks Food Nutrition List of cocktails Soda Milk References ^ a b Greenhalgh, Alison March 2001.
