In practice, there are four main and most common group of functional beverage, such as: (1) energy drinks, (2) isotonic drinks (sport drinks), (3) mineral water which are enriched with botanicals, vitamins, iodine and other substances, and (4) enriched fruit drinks. The aim of the study was to analyse the frequency of selected functional beverage consumption in young active adults in the context of quantitative and qualitative analysis. In case of quantitative analysis, the frequency of selected beverage consumption was prepared. Cross-sectional study was carried out in 196 students of tourism (n=129) and dietetics (n=67) in aged between 17 and 38 years old. The results showed that energy drinks were the most common consumed functional beverage by students (47%). Moreover, students believed that functional beverage can have some negative influence on human health (49%). In context of qualitative analysis, the students' knowledge about the concept of "Functional beverage" was very limited. In students' opinion, the most common nutrients which can be added to these drinks were B-group vitamins (80%), minerals (68%), and caffeine (60%).
