Usage notes

In Cantonese, the nasal consonant for 尿 may be weaken such that it sounds the same as 飲尿／饮尿 (“to drink urine”), so 飲品／饮品 or 嘢飲／嘢饮 are used instead.
In Mandarin, 飲料／饮料 (yǐnliào) often denotes a non-alcoholic drink, especially when used with 酒 (jiǔ, “alcohol”), for example:

你喝酒還是飲料？／你喝酒还是饮料？ (Nǐ hējiǔ háishì yǐnliào?, “Would you like an alcoholic or non-alcoholic drink?”).
