During the gold rush, miners typically drank water, which was often contaminated and not always safe. To improve its taste and safety, many would mix water with whiskey or other alcohol, making it a popular choice. Coffee was also a common beverage, providing a warm and energizing option for the labor-intensive work. Tea, though less common, was another drink that some miners enjoyed.
