Beverages

Beverages are drinks that people consume to stay hydrated, refreshed, or energized. They include a wide variety such as water, juices, soft drinks, tea, coffee, and milk-based drinks. Some beverages are served cold, like sodas and iced juices, while others are enjoyed hot, like tea and coffee. Many beverages also contain added flavors, sugar, or caffeine depending on personal preference.
