Problem with delete_at method 

def using_delete(drinks, name="beer")
    drinks = ["wine", "beer", "beer", "soda", "milk"]
    drinks.delete("beer")
    return drinks
end

my problem is that it is not deleting the "beer" string out of the array. It seems I am doing everything right though

This is working for me. I removed your parameters because they're not needed for your example:

def using_delete
    drinks = ["wine", "beer", "beer", "soda", "milk"]
    drinks.delete("beer")
    drinks
end 

using_delete  # => ["wine", "soda", "milk"]
