Act 6: Non-alcoholic Drinks
Whether a refreshment, nourishment, or accompaniment, drinks are part of the meal. Not everyone likes alcoholic drinks, so we are going to take care of them first. This act features non-alcoholic beverages, so all song titles must include a non-alcoholic beverage without including any alcohol. For instance, the song Rum & Coke is not permissible.
