This category includes water, mineral water, and carbonated water that have sugar, other sweeteners, or flavorings added to them. It also covers various non-alcoholic drinks, but explicitly excludes juices made from fruits, nuts, or vegetables. The first subcategory groups the sweetened or flavored waters together.
