This is default in Drupal.

Using taxonomy will allow you this. Create four separate taxonomie terms, one 
for each journal. Add subterms to that term, so that you have tersm for each 
journal.

- journal1
-- milk
-- soda
-- beer
- journal2
-- milk
-- soda 
-- beer etc..

Where journal1/milk == journal2/milk 

this is easy in Drupal.

See above.

This has een done before. searching on drupal for terms like "taxonomy bases 
theme" and "taxonomy css" might give you more detailed answers. It is quite 
easy, but needs some minor coding in a theme.

There are numerous navigation systems based on a taxonomy structures. The one 
that might siut your needs best and is most stable is called taxonomy dhtml.

It sounds that overall you are describing the default drupal site here. It 
thus sounds you have found your match!
