Choosing between several things
When I'm asked to choose between several beverages (more than two) and I don't really care which one I'll get, may I say: I don't care ? Is it an appropriate phrase to say that you can have any of the beverages available? Doesn't it sound too bluntly / ignorant? If so, do English speakers have something else on that occasion?

It would be a little blunt. "I don't mind" or "anything cold/hot/non-alcoholic" might be alternatives you could try.

Hi,
In response to an offer, 'I don't mind, thank you' is much, much better.
I think some learners of English don't realize how important 'please' and 'thank you' are in English culture, and how commonly these words are used.
Best wishes, Clive
