We may stay without food but none of us can live without water. A cool

refreshing drink is something we long for on a hot summer’s day.

Drinks can be classified into two types : alcoholic and non-alcoholic. Some

examples of alcoholic drinks are spirits, wine and beer. Under the non-

alcoholic type we have two kinds of drinks hot and cold. Tea and coffee

are good examples of hot drinks, though cold coffee is not uncommon now

a days.

S-115 3 P.T.O.

We now come to the cold drinks. These can be further classified into aerated

and non-aerated. Some examples of aerated drinks are soda, lemonade, coca-

cola and tonic water. On the other hand non-aerated drinks can be diluted

with water or undiluted. Squashes and cordials are usually diluted while

fruit juices are not.
