You use the term 'beverage" when you are The Dude Lebowski being abducted by porn movie maker and you have a White Russian in your hand as you are being trundled into the back of the porno guy's limousine. "Hey, man, I have a beverage here."

Anyone who can quote "the Dude" deserves some followers.

If you were trying to give the impression that you are intellectually superior to anyone who calls a drink a drink.

If you want to look intellectually superior ,for example, you'll say: "What would you like to imbibe with your repast?" Translation: What would you like to drink with your meal?

Only colloquial with "adult". A
@Walgreens near me has a section labeled "Adult Beverages".

They're interchangeable but in my mind "beverages" always meant non-alcoholic where as "drinks" means "I'm trying to get toasted after a long week".

In contrast to some of the other responses that I am reading - What about adult "beverages" and soft "drinks"?

Written and formal: beverage Spoken informal: drinks Spoken "beverage" is usually a facetious reference to formal use.
