Try to avoid drinks that are high in sugar, fructose, corn syrup, or alcohol. Look at the food labels and use that as a guide, when available. Many soft drinks, juices, and alcoholic drinks have more sugar in them than what is desirable. Be careful with orange juice, something that usually has a lot of sugar in it.  
Alcohol, diet drinks and any sweet drink will elevate blood sugars and contribute to worsening diabetes.
