I'm not sure that he needs to drink anything but water. He needs adequate protein, carbs, fats, and nutrients. There is no law whatever saying those cannot come from food rather than a milk replacer.
I recommend you read "Raising Vegetarian Children" as that likely has much more specific advice. But if he is eating solids and adding new solid foods to his diet at a pretty good rate, now that he is getting teeth, I would not assume that any substantial part of his nutrition has to be in liquid form, as long as he does get enough hydration.
