Beverages are drinks or liquids other than water intended for human consumption. The most popular beverages are tea, coffee, milk, beer, and wine.
Aside from satisfying thirst, drinks play a significant role in human culture. They are served at social functions, and in most restaurants, the price of a beverage is included in the food price.
Surprisingly, for people who can afford them, there are drinks expensive as much as lots of people’s net worth or more.
For instance, the average cost of a house in one of Nigeria’s high-end neighbourhoods, Banana Island, is about N800,000 ($1 million).
Meanwhile, there are beverages that are as expensive as $3.7 million, which means that can their price is enough to purchase at least four houses on Banana Island comfortably.
