Alcohol consumption has dominated the very limited discussion of the AIF’s liquid intake, but there has been no study of the totality of the role of various beverages in the health and well-being of the diggers. This article explores the physical and cultural context of all beverages consumed by the AIF, noting the successes and failures of official army supply. This article reveals that alcohol, while dominating contemporary accounts of the AIF and prevailing ideas about digger identity, was actually subject to contests over its utility and legitimacy, in part due to the influence of the temperance movement. Meanwhile, non-alcoholic beverages such as tea, water, cocoa and coffee made far more important contributions to the physical and emotional well-being of soldiers than previously recognised, and have been routinely overlooked in scholarly and popular accounts of the AIF.
