The word drink is primarily a verb, meaning to ingest liquids, see Drinking.
As a noun, it refers to the liquid thus ingested.
It is often used in a narrower sense to refer to alcoholic beverages (as both a verb and a noun).
It can also be used metaphorically, as in to drink in the scenery.
A beverage is a drink specifically prepared for human consumption.
Almost always it largely consists of water. These include:
- Water, from the tap or from a bottle
- Juice, for example fruit juices, vegetable juices, which may be fresh or made from a concentrate.
- Soft drinks
- Sports drinks
- Infusions
- Dairy drinks, for example milk, yogurt drink, chocolate milk, milkshake
- Alcoholic beverages
- Cocktails - mixed drinks
- Hot beverages, for example coffee, tea, hot chocolate, hot cider, cappuccino
- Pearl milk tea, aka Boba Milk Tea, is a tea drink popular in China and among overseas Chinese.
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:
Hot beverages and hot food can cause burns when drunk or eaten too hot and/or too fast, and when spilled. See also McDonald's coffee case.
