Introduction

Many liquids or liquorous foods, such as coffee, tea, cocoa, soft drinks and alcohol containing drinks are considered as beverages. Soft drinks are non-alcoholic beverages containing syrup, essences or fruit concentrate that are mixed with water or carbonated water. The basis of all alcoholic drinks is ethyl alcohol or simple alcohols.

A beverage is composed chiefly of water used as a drink for the purpose of relieving thirst and introducing fluid to the body, nourishing the body, and stimulating or smoothing the individual.
