    How Six Beverages changed the Face of the EarthThroughout history certain drinks have marked a trend that has changed the face of the earth. Each drinks including beer, wine, spirits (distilled alcohol), coffee, tea, and coca-cola have been a catalyst for the development of our society. As a result, the alcohol and the caffeine in the drinks have not only quenched our thirst through history, but have done much more than that; they have helped different cultures intertwine. Each one of them set humankind on a path towards modernity. Six beverages precisely, three alcoholic, and three caffeine marked the tendency; the first beverage to mark a trend was beer that both served as a currency and for political purposes. Later came the Greeks with a fermented grape juice, named "wine" that with the help of formal drinking parties helped diffuse ideas and thoughts. With the coming of the age of exploration and the discovery of America, raw goods and the distillation process arrived and helped the development of distilled drinks such as brandy, rum, and whiskey which were used as currency to buy slaves and became popular in North America. As alcoholism spread, other people especially professionals looked for that drink that instead of confusing the mind rather promoted clarity. Coffee, the black gift from the Arabs promoted clarity that was what professionals were looking for such a long time. However the emergence of the British Empire as a world dominion helped China's flagship drink, tea helped to open lucrative trade routes with the east. Perhaps, the most affluent of all, or at least the one single drink that reached every corner of earth is the carbonated soft beverage called Coca-Cola; Coca-Cola marked the start of the globalization period. Six drinks, six different stories that mark our world today.…

    Only one thing matters more than a liquid refreshment, getting a fresh breath of air. But liquids, unlike air, are more than just necessities for life. A simple drink that was used just to quench a thirst had the possibilities of being a political stimulant, economic sparker, and a cultural infuser. Tom Standage decides to magnify the microscopic drops of history that had seemed to slip our minds so easily as just a thirst quencher. Whenever someone picks up a nice cold glass of one of these drinks, they should know the history of it.…

    Under Queen Elizabeth’s rule, two of the most famous British trading monopolies were created. The British East India Company and the Levant Company rivaled and surpassed the Dutch tea trade companies, boosting the English economy. Companies sailed to the Indies and the Ottoman Empire to gather spices for tea and seasoning and quickly became successful trade businesses. Through these trade routes, England became a well-known economic power, giving the country a higher world status. This status gave England easier access to trade networks across the globe. More imports to the country required more exports from the country, and colonies in the Americas helped to produce cotton, rice, and other cash crops. During this time, Queen Elizabeth became engaged with John Hawkins’ transatlantic slave trade. Slaves in American colonies helped to boost the English economy by producing more goods. The Triangle Trade route between Europe, Africa, and the Caribbean tied all three together in This practice also connected England’s economy to the American economy, giving England a stronger sense of power that helped later in wars and other conflicts. However, American slavery was uniquely associated with race, and racism became an issue throughout history that continues to be a problem…
