What's the Most Popular Drink in the UK?

Tea is a good drink, especially if it's green tea. It's full of antioxidants and other things. But adding milk to it does reduce the health benefits. Before tea became the most popular drink in the UK, what was the previous most popular drink? I think it was beer. No, apparently it was gin. Really? Yeah, gin. This is the mostpopular drink in the country, even more than water.
