I don't know why I can say so much about beverages, but here goes.
Tea is my main drink. I like all kinds, but my favourites are green, oolong, and ginger-based herbal teas. I sorta "collect" teas the way some people collect figs, I overspend on them and buy more when I feel like it even when I have plenty. I have about 5 pounds of loose-leaf tea sitting in the kitchen cupboards right now. (Probably dumb since it'll go bad eventually, even sealed up like it tends to be.)
I can tolerate some beers and wines, but it's bad for me to keep any palatable alcohol around because I find that I just keep drinking it if it's there. So I just keep brandy around and I only drink it if I mix it with tea to overpower the awful alcohol taste. (Supposedly, it's actually recommended that to "enjoy" a hard liquor you dilute it with water anyway so the alcohol burn doesn't overpower the flavour.)
I also drink coffee on rare occasions, but I don't keep any around to brew myself.
Water is also a staple, of course. And sometimes skim milk. That's about it; I quit soda many years ago and can't go back, it tastes disgusting to me now. I do still like the feeling of chugging a fizzy drink though.
