New benefit for A-List Preferred: Free Drinks?
The Tier Status View Details page
http://www.southwest.com/account/rap...ds/tier-status
has a surprise:
Free Drinks Onboard are shown as a benefit for A-List Preferred. I haven't seen this mentioned before, so it may be an error. If not, I hope it includes Monster energy drinks!

That's not a working link. It needs a long session-specific code that I chopped off.
You can also reach this page by clicking View My Tier Progress near the lower left of the My Account Snapshot page.
On the page that shows the Free Drinks, when you click View Details under A-List Preferred, the details do NOT include free drinks.
After the web site trouble today, plenty of customers need a drink.

my guess is one set of drink coupons mailed annually with your a list preferred card
maybe it's free soft drinks, juice, cofee or tea for a list preferred
non potable water for everyone else

The free drink message is visible in the screen capture expert7700 included in his lengthy post at 5:04am CST.
I predict it will not include Monster, based on past precedent.

A-List Preferred Benefits
I have not noticed this to date which may be due to not spending the time to understand RR2.0. However, I wanted to note that for A-List Preferred members, free drinks will be offered on the flight. Hopefully this (1) includes Monster for the non-drinkers and, since it says free drinks onboard on some pages but not others, (2) isn't a benefit that was supposed to be removed prior to launch. ^

The way it is worded on the site makes it sound like it's unlimited drinks
It doesn't say one free drink per flight.
If you don't get upgraded on Delta and are medal, a lot of times you get a have one on use coupon with your boarding pass that you can use onboard for a free drink or set of headphones which is a nice little extra.

We can always give them away to the serendipitous, late check in, travel naive, canceled A-list position space getters, standing in line in front of us. Tell them it is one of the other perks of A+ that they did not earn but can have anyway.
