Partitif article followed by propername

I have the following sentence

Il biot ------ Coca-cola tous les jours.

Here i need to fill it using partitif article, because Coca-cola is a propername i have to use Il boit de Coca-cola tous les jours?

Is this correct. Please correct me if i am wrong.

Suzanne adore les vêtements oranges.There is a question about this and my response (above) was incorrect. Is les vêtements an exception to adding the ‘s’ at the end to orange? I couldn’t see the exception in the discussion. Thanks.

Meaning of 'le'I'm sure you've heard this a million times already, but if "il déteste le café" is "he hates coffee" then how does one say "he hates the coffee?"

Partir vs. s'en aller

When would I use "partir" instead of "s'en aller"?

Also, as a command (imperative), is there a difference in emotion between "Partez!" vs. "Allez-vous en!" (Like "leave" vs. "get out of here!) .

Thanks.
