2. Read and translate the text: Drinks and Beverages

Drink is a liquid that is fit for drinking; a beverage. A beverage is a drink specifically prepared for human consumption. Beverages almost always consist of water. These include:

• water, from the tap or from a bottle;

• juices (e.g. fruit juices and vegetable juices, which may be fresh or made from a concentrate);

• soft drinks. The soft drink is a drink that does not contain alcohol, as opposed to a hard drink, which does. In general, the term is used only for cold beverages. Hot chocolate, tea, and coffee are not considered soft drinks. The term originally referred exclusively to carbonated drinks, and is still commonly used in this manner.

• cocktails - mixed drinks, usually containing one or more distilled alcoholic beverages and perhaps non-alcoholic drinks, ice and sometimes liqueur, fruit, sauce, honey, spices, etc.
