1."went"(a)
'Last summer' is a specific past time, so use Past Simple 'went'.
2."has drunk"(a)
'Today' is unfinished time (still continuing), so use Present Perfect.
3."got"(a)
'In 2015' is a specific past time, so use Past Simple 'got'.
4."have seen"(b)
No specific time mentioned, and there's a present result (I can recommend it), so use Present Perfect.
5."went"(b)
'Yesterday' is a specific past time, so use Past Simple 'went'.
