In a large number of his Disney comic book stories Carl Barks showed his primary characters enjoying different types of nourishment. Most of the time they were eating, but on a few occasions they were seen drinking as well. Of course, staying within the boundaries of the Disney morals code, alcohol was not an option, but Barks used a great variety of Beverages* nonetheless. Strangely though, he never showed his ducks take to plain tap water or ordinary cow's milk, although these choices would have been rather logical in stories meant for young readers. Even stranger is it that Barks normally avoided showing people sporting drinking glasses and drinks during parties!
On this page you are presented to examples of diverse types of beverages, from the most unusual kinds, to the most often recurring one (namely coffee). 'Borderline' cases such as sauce, gravy, perfume, and hair tonic are omitted.

FACE OFF

In U$48 Magica de Spell worked frantically on no less than two special hex juice concoctions. The first one was meant to disfigure Scrooge and make him lose face, as it were, and when this failed she tried to make a second brew in order to restore her own face. Here are the ingredients' lists in case you need ideas for your next party drinks: 1: Powdered dragons' teeth, fat from a royal fathead, dingbat fuzz, a cross-eyed cat's whiskers. 2: Dried bats' ears, swamp scum, hair from a red-tailed monkey, horns from a knock-kneed hoot owl, butter from a green-eyed goat, sulphur, molasses, stardust, two faded photographs, Tulebug toenails.
