A drink, or beverage, is a liquid which is specifically prepared for human consumption. In addition to filling a basic human need, beverages form part of the culture of human society.

Types of beverage

A carbonated beverage.

Water

Main article: Drinking water

Despite the fact that all beverages contain water, water itself is not a beverage. The word beverage has traditionally been defined as not referring to water.

Alcoholic beverages

Main article: Alcoholic beverage

An alcoholic beverage is a drink that contains ethanol, commonly known as alcohol (although in chemistry the definition of “alcohol” includes many other compounds).

Beer has been a part of human culture for 8000 years. In Germany, and many other European countries such as the United Kingdom and Ireland, drinking beer and alcoholic beverages in the local pub is a very cultural tradition.

A. According to WebMD, doctors used to recommend that moms take in an additional 500 calories daily. But now experts say the nutritious quality of what you eat, not how much, matters more. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that nursing mothers build complex carbohydrates -- some of the best foods to eat while breastfeeding -- into their daily intake. These include: Veggies like broccoli, cauliflower, squash and even bell peppers or beans. Fruits like oranges, melons, apples, berries, peaches and plums. Whole grains such as brown rice and whole-wheat or rye bread. Protein and fat are also important and come in the form of vegetable oils, butter or mayo.
