The values for this acid-alkaline beverages chart are explained in my Basic Acid Alkaline Food Chart Introduction.
If you have any questions about this information or have any suggestions for improvements, please add your comments below. This chart is an introduction to my project to provide you with your free online food diary, but I’ve barely scratched the surface. I have loads of ideas for turning this basic information into an interactive service to help you plan your diet, but I also want your ideas. Your feedback will help me move this project quickly to provide you with better nutrition management tools.
I have recently introduce an alkaline beverages list with fewer drinks, but more nutrition detail. Please tell me what you think in the alkaline beverages discussion. Also, I’ve put all the alcoholic beverages listed below into a new Alkaline Alcoholic Drinks List, with extra nutrition data besides PRAL.

Remember: these tables help you make better food choices, but the only way to confirm they are having the desired effect is by measuring the pH (acidity/alkalinity) of your urine. This is a simple process using widely available pH test strips or meters.
