Types of beverage
A carbonated beverage.
Water
Main article: Drinking water
Despite the fact that all beverages contain water, water itself is not a beverage. The word beverage has traditionally been defined as not referring to water.[citation needed]
Alcoholic beverages
Main article: Alcoholic beverage
An alcoholic beverage is a drink that contains ethanol, commonly known as alcohol (although in chemistry the definition of lcohol includes many other compounds).
Beer has been a part of human culture for 8000 years. In Germany, and many other European countries such as the United Kingdom and Ireland, drinking beer and alcoholic beverages in the local pub is a very cultural tradition.
Non-alcoholic beverages
Orange juice is usually served cold.
Main article: Non-alcoholic beverage
Non-alcoholic beverages are drinks that usually contain alcohol, such as beer and wine, but contain less than 0.5% alcohol by volume. This category includes low-alcohol beer, non-alcoholic wine, and apple 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 hot beverage is any beverage which is normally served heated. This may be through the addition of a heated liquid, such as water or milk, or by directly heating the beverage itself. Some examples of hot beverages are:
Coffee-based beverages
Cappuccino
Coffee
Espresso
Caf au lait
Frapp
Flavored coffees (mocha etc.)
Latte
Hot chocolate
Hot cider
Mulled cider
Glhwein
Tea-based beverages
Flavored teas (chai etc.)
Green tea
Pearl milk tea

Herbal teas
Yerba Mate
Roasted grain beverages
