Usage Note
Bebida is the general word for any drink or beverage. Bebidas alcohólicas are alcoholic drinks; bebidas sin alcohol are non-alcoholic. It derives from beber (to drink). In many Latin American countries, bebida in informal speech can specifically imply an alcoholic drink, so context matters.
