About

Drinks Type answers everyday questions about drinks: what is in them, how long they last, how strong they are, and what they do to your body. Each answer starts with the short version and then explains it.

We cite official sources where we can, show when a page was last updated, and say so when a producer publishes no figure. You can read how we check our answers on How we verify, the rules we follow on Editorial policy, where numbers come from on Our sources, and how mistakes are fixed on Corrections.
