Aim of this study is to investigate the perception and purchasing status of functional beverages for adults in the Chungnam area. In this case, the reasons to buy the functional beverages for men were ‘recovery of fatigue (43.1%)’, ‘quenching thirst (21.6%)’, ‘health promotion (19.6%)’, ‘supply of nutrition (15%)’, and ‘a loss in weight (7%)’. Otherwise the reasons to buy the functional beverage for women showed to be ‘recovery of fatigue (28.6%)’, ‘health promotion (26.4%)’, ‘quenching thirst (22.1%)’, ‘supply of nutrition (12.9%)’, and ‘a loss in weight (10%)’, which were significant different between the men and women subjects. The place to buy functional beverages was for singles (46.5%) a store and for married person a supermarket. The purchase of functional beverages was affected by as follows; manufactured date > original granule > nutrition sign > country > price > taste > brand > scent > color and the women are affected more than men. For functional beverages, the men preferred to buy an energy drink and vitamin drink more than the women. After the intake of functional beverages, the men and women recognized the effect on ‘recovery of fatigue’ and ‘a loss of weight/release of a feeling of hunger/improvement of constipation’, respectively. Considering the results of the study, it is necessary to clarify the function of functional beverages so that consumers can choose and take the correct functional beverage by themselves. In addition, the nutritional education should be conducted for the intake allowance for the compositions and excessive or inadequate intake of functional beverages.
