"A drink" and "a brandy" use "a" because they are indefinite, generic nouns.
"Tea" doesn't use an article because it is an uncountable noun.
"Would be minister of war" uses "would be" to indicate a hypothetical situation, and "the general" uses "the" to refer to a specific person who has been mentioned before or is known to the speaker and listener.
"Was general of the rebellious troops" uses "was" to refer to a past event, and "the general" uses "the" to refer to a specific person who has been mentioned before or is known to the speaker and listener. "Stared at him" doesn't use an article because it is a verb phrase.
"In jail" and "in the courtyard of the jail" use "in" as a preposition to indicate location, and "the" is used with "the courtyard" to refer to a specific place.
"Such bad luck" and "such a noble gesture" use "such" as a determiner to emphasize the quality of the following noun, and "a" is used with "a noble gesture" to indicate an indefinite, singular noun.
