Drinks play a significant role in human civilization, serving more than just the simple purpose of quenching thirst. In Ancient Greece, drinking at a social gathering was known as a symposium, and the diluted wine served was referred to as hydration. Some meetings may be conducted for the sake of having important discussions, while others are conducted simply to allow participants to enjoy themselves.
The Most Consumed Beverage in the World
The world’s most often consumed drink is water. Most of the Earth’s surface, roughly 71 percent, is covered by water in large bodies of water like oceans and seas, where 97.2 percent of it is saltwater, and only 2.8 percent is fresh. Water is absolutely necessary for human survival. This is why numerous water treatment technologies have been developed, in order to ensure everyone all over the world has access to clean and safe water to drink. In addition to water, many of the world’s beverages are made using various combinations of different water-based ingredients.
