Metaphoric Beverage For Ya
As to a beverage, I would have to bend the definition slightly.
I consume stoatin' huge volumes of coffee in the course of any considerable time. But, this would not be the metaphor for my life. It is simply one of the necessities, along with air, sunlight, wholesome foods, and sleep.
DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!
The metaphor is had by that simple yet potentially dangerous tea commonly called Mugwort Tea. The tea is flavorful and calming, and creates visions in dreams. My life contains all of these and more. Danger, calm, and flavor are all in my life. Some have said I am spicy, others have said I am sweet. I know I live with gusto. As to visions, well, there are visions in my life. They often end up as pixels, in text, and sometimes, ink on paper. Sometimes they take life in the subtle and, for the most part, unseen latencies that form filmed or video entertainment. Though rarely given to vision, overall, those, as the words in text do also, create mood, idea and feeling in whoever views or reads them. So, like mugwort tea, some of my life draws out visions in the minds of others.
