A different approach might be to use org-capture with type table-line,
which inserts a new line in the first table at the target location. You
can then use org-capture to automatically capture the timestamp, prompt
you for the type of drink (you can define a completion table) and any
other notes you want to add, and file it automatically. "Drink coffee"
and "Drink tea" aren't really TODOs or habits, so this might be better
for you.
