People would make their own beverages (mostly beer and wine, as alcohol was the only preservant working) and use barrels to store them and mugs to drink them. After the development of pasteurization they would pasteurize juice and keep it in glass bottles. And they would share with neighbours, family and friends.
Of course there were breweries and wineries, too, they would sell their stuff mostly in barrels to pubs, and people would buy their beer and wine at the pub if they couldn’t make their own. In our area it was a common task for children to get a mug of beer for dad from the pub until the 50s, I think.
Pre-fabricated, non-alcoholic, bottled beverages are a modern luxury item we all got used to as normal.
