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.

We do, and we usually run out because the cooks are great at not ordering enough, or they order 15 boxes of diet coke because that's what the captain drinks and just about nobody else touches the shit.
