Making a drinks tier list
Drinks are more context-dependent than food, which makes the ranking harder than it looks. The same drink can be S tier at breakfast and unthinkable at dinner, so the time of day is doing a lot of quiet work in most people's placements.
Split hot and cold if the list stalls. Comparing tea to lemonade tends to measure the weather rather than the drink.

Frequently asked questions
- How do you make a drink tier list?
- Pick an occasion - morning, with food, or an evening drink - and rank against it. A context-free drinks list usually just reproduces whatever the person had most recently.
- What is usually S tier on a drinks list?
- Water does better than people expect once the criterion is honest, because the test is what you would actually choose most often rather than what sounds most interesting.
- Should alcohol be on a drinks tier list?
- Only if the whole list is alcoholic. Mixing a morning coffee with an evening drink means you are ranking two different occasions against each other, and the result rarely satisfies anyone.
