How many different drinks are there in the world?

There is no definitive answer to this as it depends on how one defines a "drink". If we consider any beverage other than water to be a drink, then there are literally thousands of different drinks available around the world.

Some of the most popular types of drinks include:

- Alcoholic beverages: beer, wine, spirits, cocktails, etc.

- Non-alcoholic beverages: juices, sodas, energy drinks, teas, coffees, etc.

- Hot drinks: tea, coffee, hot chocolate, etc.

- Cold drinks: juices, sodas, energy drinks, beer, etc.

- Frozen drinks: smoothies, slushies, granitas, etc.

With so many different cultures and regions around the world, each with its own unique culinary traditions, it's impossible to say exactly how many different drinks exist in total. However, one estimate puts the number at over 30,000, with new drinks being created all the time.
