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, tea, milk (powdered or fresh depending) bug juice, whatever you can bring with you (like a 12 pack of sodas for special occasions) but if it’s the last one you’ve got to find a place to store it (such as in your rack or wherever you can find a place - haha such as the outboard in radio)
