Drink
A drink 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 water, milk, coffee, tea, hot chocolate, juice, and soft drinks. Alcoholic drinks, such as wine, beer, and liquor, which contain the drug ethanol, have been part of human culture and development for 8,000 years.
Humans have been making and consuming alcoholic drinks for almost as long as they have been making and consuming food. The first alcoholic drinks were probably meads, fruit wines, and beers brewed from grain. These drinks were used for religious rituals, as well as for pleasure and socialization.
The first recorded recipe for a mixed drink was for a drink made with beer, wine, and spices, which was written down by the ancient Babylonians. This recipe, which was for a drink called kykeon, was used in religious ceremonies.
