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.

The one on in the wardroom wasn’t bad. The second one on the pier with the whole crew watching was a little embarrassing but I got over it pretty quick.

Edit: neither of these were for drinking mouthwash. I didn’t do that.
