A beverage is a liquid designed for consumption, often crafted to have a pleasing flavor, such as an alcoholic drink. History, in contrast, is a systematic record of events, particularly those affecting a nation, institution, science, or art, usually with an analysis of their causes. Thus, the history of beverages entails a detailed and organized account of the evolution of various drinks over time.

History of Sparkling Water
In the early 18th century, Belgian chemist, Jean Baptiste Van Helmont coined the word ‘gas’ to describe a mysterious substance he had observed.
Sparkling of the water brought into the new era in 1741, when Dr. William Brownrigg first made soda water in England.
His method of infusing plain water with carbon dioxide required immediate bottling to retain the fizz.
Natural sparkling mineral water discovered in upstate New York in the 1780s, was first brought to the city around the turn of the century by health pioneers Samuel Latham Mitchill and Valentine Seaman.
Artificially sparkling water or carbonated water was first offered in New York’s city Hotel in 1809 by Noyes Darling, which became a leading manufacturer of ‘soda water’.
In 1783, German born Johann Jacob Schweppe used new technology using yeast where infusing water with carbon dioxide by placing the water over a fermenting mash, to invent a device to create artificially sparkling water.
Carbonated waters were developed to imitate the popular and naturally discharged waters from other famous springs.
