Excellent alternatives to plain water AND milk include: single malt Scotch, Bourbon, Shōchū, Mezcal, Tequila and in a pinch, Vodka.

Not that those alternatives aren't great but for your daily liquid intake, you're probably better off with beer, cider or wine than the hard stuff.

My friend, my comrade in arms, my nakama, why would I drink beer when bourbon is readily available?

After that comment - you very well may be my spirit animal.
