Beverage types can be broadly categorized into two main groups: alcoholic and non-alcoholic. Non-alcoholic beverages include water, juices, soft drinks, and teas, which are commonly consumed for hydration and enjoyment. Examples of popular non-alcoholic drinks are orange juice, iced tea, and soda. Alcoholic beverages, on the other hand, contain ethanol and are typically consumed for social or recreational purposes. This category includes beer, wine, and spirits like vodka and whiskey. Each type of alcoholic drink has its own unique flavors and production methods, contributing to a diverse drinking culture worldwide.
