Beverages - Indian Laws - General

Beverages The New Encyclopaedia Britannica (15th edition, volume 25, page 58) states- Beverages. Although most adults drink one to two litres (about one to two quarts) of water a day, much of this is in the form of liquids such as coffee, tea, fruit juices, soft drinks, beer, wines, or spirits. In general, these are appreciated more for their taste or for their effect than for their nutritive value. Fruit juices are, of course, useful for their vitamin C content and good sources of potassium while low in sodium. Coffee and tea by themselves are of no nutritive value, except that coffee contains some niacin and tea contains fluoride and manganese, but they may be a vehicle for intakes of sugar, milk, or lemon.
