1) Somebody asked me what would you like to have tea or coffee?

May I reply:

I have taken.

Is there any other better way to say this?

The use of "I'm good" to mean "No, thank you" is a fairly recent addition to BrE.

What would you like - tea or coffee?
Neither, thanks. [I've just had a drink.]
