I need to know if the following are acids or bases. ( or neutral)
coffee
coke
water
gatorade
Kool- Aid
Tea
alcohol (like beer or rum)
I tried using the litmus paper but I can't see any change of colour because I suffer from a form of colourblindness and nobody around my house wants to help me.

Just type in something along the lines of "acid and base chart" into google and see what you come out with. And it should show you the levels easily, without color because they are arranged in order from the amount of acid in them.
