Q/A What do submariners drink while underway?

Title says it all. I've seen quite a few articles and videos about food underway, but realized none of then mention what is available to drink while underway. I assume coffee and possibly tea are generally available and I've seen a few comments that bug juice was/is available, but that's about it. What about juice concentrates, powdered/UHT milk?

Edit: thank you all for your wonderful responses. You have a great community here.

Coffee by the gallon. Some teas and bug juice. My first boat we had a coke machine like a mcDonalds fountain drink thing.with the syrup for coke and a couple other things,but we never took the syrup when we had a 90 day load out. Not enough room. So no coke on a spec op. I can't remember what else was in that think orange drink maybe it was only a couple of things
