Description

People have been inventing drinks for thousands of years.

Kinda weird when you consider that humans only need two liquids to survive-water and milk-and we don't need milk once we can eat solid foods.

So, why did humans, unlike other mammals, begin concocting new beverages?

It likely started with safety-boiling water to make it safer to drink, and then adding in berries or leaves or roots to make it taste better.

Sometimes, it was thought that enhancing drinks made them healthier (i.e. bubbly water restored vitality). Did you know that some of the most popular sodas were created by pharmacists?

Americans spend approximately $150 billion on soft drinks, coffee, and tea each year.

Why? This book offers some possible answers!
