env_beverage is an e0 available in all Source games before Portal 2: Community Edition. It is a Half-Life legacy entity: the beverage vending machine. This entity dispenses soda cans (item_sodacan) when +used.

These are not used for the vending machines in Half-Life 2. Those are done with a func_button and point_template.

Note:This uses models/can.mdl by default.
In most games except Half-Life: Source, Half-Life Deathmatch: Source, and Jabroni Brawl: Episode 3, you will need to provide your own model as this one is not present.
