drinks

A drink (or beverage) is a liquid intended for human consumption. In addition to their basic function of satisfying thirst, drinks play important roles in human culture. Common types of drinks include plain drinking water, milk, juice and soft drinks. Traditionally warm beverages include coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. Caffeinated drinks that contain the stimulant caffeine have a long history.
In addition, alcoholic drinks such as wine, beer, and liquor, which contain the drug ethanol, have been part of human culture for more than 8,000 years. Non-alcoholic drinks often signify drinks that would normally contain alcohol, such as beer, wine and cocktails, but are made with a sufficiently low concentration of alcohol by volume. The category includes drinks that have undergone an alcohol removal process such as non-alcoholic beers and de-alcoholized wines.

    Christmas Tipples

    Are there drinks that you tend to only have at Christmas? Eggnog perhaps or Baileys - maybe a special malt whisky?

    The food and drink pairing game

    Do certain foods or drinks bring back memories for you?

    I'm glad you asked! Why yes, Rob: some foods and drinks do indeed remind me of where I first was when I had them. Haggis would qualify if I could find any within 3500 miles. There are probably places within driving distance, but to be honest, I haven't tried that hard to find any. There's no...
