English Drink

A lot of people think that the favourite drink of the British people is tea. Well, this is not always true. In fact in Britain people drink less tea now than some years ago.
In English when a person uses the word “drink” he or she means “alcoholic drink” but do not forget that there are many other kinds of drinks:
Milk, for example, orangeade, lemonade and other drinks with no alcohol are called “soft drinks”

Beer is, perhaps, the favourite drink of the British. There are a lot of types of beer. The typically British beer is served warm and you must get used to it before you can really enjoy it.
Lager is a type of beer which was imported from the continent and is now very popular.
When you want to drink beer you ask for a pint, or half a pint. Shandy is a mixture of beer and lemonade and it is very refreshing in summer.
