Ginevra Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 I'm just curious. Do you start every morning with coffee? Tea? W/sugar, honey, cream, milk? How about throughout the day? Do you drink water generally? Purified? Tap? Well? With dinner, what do you drink? How much? Etc. I'll go first: start every morning with a generously-sized coffee, cream & sugar. Sometimes I fill my cup once more; other times not. I make a large ice water, which I carry about, sip from, and refill. Most often have iced green tea w/sugar at lunch and dinner; sometimes another time in the day. That about it, unless I also have a smoothie or a hot tea w/honey. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 I usually drink water and tea all day, hot or cold. Sometimes I have coffee if I do I drink it black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrincessMommy Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 I start my day with decaf tea w/ Splenda... and usually nurse it most of the morning, adding hot water to heat it back up. Otherwise I do water the rest of the day. Sometimes I'll have more decaf tea in the evening to deal with my sweet cravings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tshirtyogapantmama Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 I have a cup of black tea 99.9% of the time, first thing I drink in the morning. It's a routine that just makes the day start out great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie G Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 I stumble out of bed at 6 am to cook breakfast for dh and myself. At that point he has already poured me a tall icy Pepsi Max. After that I switch to water until after lunch. What I *really* want is to drink PW's iced coffee all day long, complete with honest-to-goodness heavy whipping cream and vanilla simple syrup. But I cannot do that because I have no self control. If I have one, I'll be unable to stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMV Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 I have milk or some kind of protein enhanced homemade juice or smoothie with breakfast depending on what else I am eating for breakfast. I drink mostly water throughout the rest of the day. I don't drink coffee or soda and if I drink herbal tea it is usually an after dinner or before bed type of beverage.

trulycrabby Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 One cup of coffee in the morning with a splash of whole milk, then water throughout the day. I do allow myself a Zevia cream soda every now and then. Sometimes, I will get really wild and have an iced green tea with stevia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Florida. Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Two cups of coffee in the morning (with sugar and half & half), then water the rest of the day. Sometimes if I'm out and about I'll get a Starbucks coffee. Very rarely I'll have wine with dinner. When we have pizza, which is also rare, I like soda. Water is what I drink most of the time.

Anne Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 2-3 cups of black coffee to start the day. Water throughout the day and with lunch and dinner. Occasionally a cup of hot water, hot herbal or regular tea. Very boring drinking habits!!! :-) Anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnE-girl Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 My DH makes the coffee every morning and I drink way too much of it throughout the morning. Switching to black coffee is one of the few dietary changes that I kept after trying a Whole 30 last year. I usually just have water the rest of the day. If I need a bit more energy in the afternoon, I'll have green or black tea, hot in winter, iced in summer. DH and I will often have a small glass of wine with dinner, or some other adult beverage when the kids are asleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regentrude Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Coffee black w/ sugar for breakfast. Carbonated water for the rest of the day. Sometimes unsweetened ice tea in summer, hot tea on winter evenings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrie12345 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 My preference is to drink coffee (with Natural Bliss vanilla creamer) until sunset and then switch to Malibu bay breezes, but since that probably isn't a good idea long term :p , I go with two cups of coffee in the morning, water throughout the day (from the well, run through the Brita filter,) and once in a while cap it off with a bay breeze or hard tea.

Guest Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Hot water with a dusting of Stevia, abut 15 times a day. Wine at night about half the days of the year. :0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsquirrel Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 dh leaves a cup of coffee on my bedside table every morning. In all these years I have never told him that it is stone cold by the time I haul my sorry butt out of bed. Or he guesses but doesn't mind, lol. So I have a cup of reheated coffee with flavoured sugar free syrup and raw milk. I think right now it is hazelnut flavour. I have two, maybe three, cups of that and then switch to black tea or green tea depending on my mood. I like tea better but dh likes coffee and he gets up and makes it. It is sitting right there so I drink it, lol. In the late afternoon I have a cup of matcha green tea with chia. Um..a bunch of water Most days that is it. A couple times a month I might have some whiskey on ice. Depends on how horrible the children were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Big mug of coffee (Folgers or store brand, made in a Boring coffee maker) with heavy cream and a squirt of liquid stevia (Whole Foods brand). I'll have one more mug sometime between lunch and 3pm, usually reheating it several times before it is finished. The rest of the time I drink water, though I need to drink much much more. Once in a while I'll have a cup of tea in the evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMamaBird Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 I have a 22 oz. water bottle that I fill up 7-8 times a day. Water is my main beverage. I will have a can of pop maybe once we week at my In-laws or if we go out to eat, which is very rare. In the winter I like a cup or two of herbal tea in the mornings during school.

Chris in VA Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Big cup of coffee in the am (sometimes 2 or 3--I make 6 in the coffee maker just in case I want a lot or someone comes over). Monk fruit for sweetner and Coffemate liquid creamer, usually vanilla. Used to drink several diet sodas a day but am trying to cut back. When dog walking (just ending next week) I keep bottled water in my car and drink 2-3 from 10:30 to about 2:30. Water (or soda, but again, trying not to) with dinner and one more glass during the evening. Wine or spirits rarely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maize Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 I drink water, water, and more water. I prefer filtered, sometimes distilled. I occasionally drink diluted fruit juice. I tend to dislike sweet drinks, and on the rare occasions I drink some soda I dilute that too. My toddler likes diluted drinks as well--he almost always asks me to add water to his cup of milk (or milk to his cup of water). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 In the summer time I drink: 1 large cup of coffee in the morning with 1/2 & 1/2 and stevia Throughout the day I continuously refill a glass with ice and water flavored with cucumber, mint and stevia In the afternoon, if we're doing school, I'll have another, smaller cup of coffee as a pick me up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spryte Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Espresso, black. Many cups. At some point I switch to bubbly water, and basically that's all I drink all day.

AmandaVT Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Black coffee in the morning - anywhere from 1-3 cups. Then I switch to water and sparkling water for the rest of the day. In the winter, I'll have a cup of hot black coffee or tea with honey in the afternoon and occasionally either a glass of wine or hot tea in the evening. I also keep a large glass (mason jar) of water on my bedside table because I usually wake up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night and then realize I'm thirsty, which then leads to more bathroom trips...

Hoot Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Water all day, usually with a slice of lemon or lime, is my primary drink. Occasionally orange juice, Bragg's raw apple cinnamon juice, or kombucha as a treat. Lately I've been drinking A LOT of fresh watermelon juice. I go through seasons where I like warm herbal teas, but more often than not I just use them medicinally. I also go through green smoothie phases, too but not lately. I don't drink alcohol, coffee, milk, or soda at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Water all day. Occasionally, maybe once a week or every other week, a juice in the morning or a smoothie as a treat.

Catwoman Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Every day, I drink tea, coffee, water, orange juice, grape juice, and at least one latte or cappuccino. I drink soda, too, but not every day. I also drink cranberry juice instead of grape juice on some days. I like the water and the juices, but my heart belongs to caffeine. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
