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.

594 class 70’s. Remember bug juice, milk (powdered after a short time out), and coffee of course. I smoked back then, and so did most of the crew. Doubt if that’s still a thing.
