Tea

Beer

Water

I stopped drinking Soda a year ago. I drink tea 24/7 cold and hot; I have a collection of loose leaf teas that I drink. I also like boutique beers, but I drink MGD with pizzza they go together. I will also recommend Budweiser Light Platitum, a relative turn me on to this beer over the holidays, very very smooth.

I brew yerba mate and coffee together and add honey. its so nice.

(the closest to a Soda I usually get is a Ginger Ale) ginger is pretty good for you

Like Italian sodas were available

lots of water

coffee in the morning, only in the evening if I don't have to go to work the next day and there is a nice desert

Teas sometimes, Chi tea's mostly, vanilla especially, Ginger teas

a beer once in a while, love trying imports

wines prefered, reisling especially

I am a cafe con leche drinker, usually in the morning.

I drink tea, green teas only, jasmine, ginger, mint, chamomille, lavender, rosehip or fruit tes brewed and served plain.. no sweetener needed at all.

water ...

gingerale...

sometimes lots of grapefruit juice or cranberry...

I am gonna make an effort to leave sodas alone again... damn Dr. Pepper and Cola Champange

but I only drink those once a month or so.

I'm currently obsessed with these, love the very berry hibiscus the best but the cool lime is cool. They have enough caffeine to give me that boost but not enough that I really feel it since I am caffeine sensative. Outside of that I try to do water and juices mostly. And I never aquired the taste buds for alcohol so beer and wines hold no appeal to me, though I'll drink wine depending on the setting.

Never heard of that...they sell Yerba Mate at my local ethnic grocery store, been thinking of trying it.

Oh, and yes, I do enjoy both beer and wine. However, I don't drink either for the booze, but really for the taste (wouldn't touch bad beer or wine).

Interesting...I can see drinking wine for the taste...but to me beer tastes nasty. I drink it for the buzz. I like Dos Equis (on tap, Lager, with lime)...I like Heineken Light...I like Sapporo...and I tried this beer called Weihenstephaner at a German restaurant in NYC that I really enjoyed. But these are all fairly tame. Those strong brews and dark beers are too much. For TASTE I go for mixed drinks.

Out of those, Weihenstephaner is the only proper one. All the others are nasty, pissy, "international-recipe" beers. And, I'm afraid to say, the U.S. is also not known for brewing good beer...

There is actually a very old and detailed philosophy when it comes to brewing. And strong or double-malted beers are not necessarily exclusively specialist beers. In Austria, for instance, people hardly ever drink dark or strong beer.

There are about 10 different kinds of "lager", that are not known to the English speaking world unfortunately (in England it's also either "double-malt", "ale" or "lager"). But in countries like Belgium, Germany and Austria there is a whole beer philosophy, which really makes you search for details in taste.

Weihenstephan was definitely amazing.

As I said, I'm not really a beer drinker...but I sure enough put this bad boy DOWN.

Its good stuff. Its really high in caffeine, but is also high in nutritional value.Doesnt give you the coffee jitters. I mix coffee and mate cause its a good rush, and Im rarely one to turn down a nice buzz.

Coffee in the morning. After that, it's either Coke or some other type of soft drink or tea. And when I say tea, I mean iced tea. I'm Southern, we don't do hot tea down here. And on Friday and Saturday nights, it's beer and some type of liquor.

Coffee with Splenda and french vanilla creamer first thing in the morning

2% ice cold cow's milk with meals I freakin love milk!

2% ice cold cow's milk when thirsty. Did I say I freakin love milk?

8oz of water to take meds

Cup of Rooibos tea at night to releax along with "supplemental herbs"

Beer, wine or at social functions only. I never drink alone so I hardly drink.

I drink both. My favorite is coffee with milk and sugar. I like the flavored coffee like hazelnut or vanilla, etc.
