Things you sip
Beverages are drinks—liquids prepared for human consumption.
The word is slightly formal, appearing more often on menus and in commerce than in casual speech: The café offers a full range of hot and cold beverages.
Nobody asks a friend to grab a beverage from the fridge; they ask for a drink.
