Word Puzzle ....... Find the Word ........

[Gizmonster]

I am a 5 letter word - people eat me.

If you remove my first letter, I will be a form of energy.

If you remove my first 2 letters, I will be needed for living.

If you remove my first 3 letters, I will be somewhere.

If you remove my first 4 letters, I will be a drink for you.


What's the original 5 letter word ?????

Thanks for stars - I admit I worked backwards to get the answer, would never have got the 5 letter word first!!
