Admin>Catalog>Categories/Products
Go to Drink category and then you'll have a button "New category"
You cannot have both subcategories and poducts under the same category.

Re: How to create sub category?

You can use a full width template. I used the zencart_zen template, available in the free add-on section. You need to keep in mind that the template will stretch with the size of the user's monitor/resolution, so you'll need to test it to make sure it's displaying right.
The category effect is the simple switch in admin:
Admin>Configuration>Layout Settings>Categories - Always Open to Show SubCategories

Re: How to create sub category?

Template Monster is notorious for disabling standard admin functions, so if something that ought to work doesn't, my first thought would be that they have bypassed or overridden it in the template code. You should ask them to fix what they have broken. You also have a problem with the sideboxes duplicating themselves, which I am sure the original TM code does not do, so you might have made some change that disturbs even the TM files. It's impossible to tell what from here.
