From the context, there is one-to-one correspondence between students and drinks.


So, 30 students each have 1 drink, that are of one of 5 kinds.


Hence, there are 5 groups of 6 students each (6 = 30/5), so that every 6 students inside each of 5 groups have the same drink.


ANSWER to the problem's question is  6 people.

Solved.
