1 Coffee first thing. Little milk no sugar.
At least 4/5 cups of tea throughout the day. Earl Grey, oolong or green whichever I'm in the mood for.
500ml bottle water.

No wonder I'm on the loo all the time.

AriettyHomily · 03/06/2020 17:09

Wake up - glass of water
A cafetière of coffee over the morning
3-4 litres of sparkling water over the course of the day

If it's the weekend wine and or gin in the evenings

I don't drink anything else at all really

billybullshitterz1n · 03/06/2020 17:14

4 or 5 cups of tea and the water after 5pm. I've not had an alcoholic drink since the 2nd Jan. My skin looks great atm

whichteaareyou · 03/06/2020 17:16

If it's a working day then a cuppa tea before work, one when I get there and one more when I get a break. More tea when I get home, a Diet Coke with dinner and about 5/6 litres of water. If it's the weekend then lots more tea mixed in with wine but I do drink a lot of water

ApplePie86 · 03/06/2020 17:16

About 4 pints of sugar free diluting juice throughout the day.

No, I'm not a child, I'm a 34 year old woman.

Don't drink tea, coffee or alcohol. I'm boring 😞

and a glass of water before bed because I feel guilty about only drinking tea all day

ThanksForAllTheFish · 03/06/2020 17:19

1 cup of coffee in the morning - around 9:30/10am. I have a proper coffee machine, coffee bean grinder, milk frother etc so make a proper coffee shop type cappuccino rather than instant coffee.

I try to drink water through the day but it can be a struggle - I generally manage about 1 litre and on a good day 2 litres.

A can or two of fizzy juice such as Dr Pepper or Fanta. I know it’s not the best but I do love them.

In the evening I have a hot drink like decaf chai tea (no milk or sugar) or a green tea (again plain). If the weather is warm I will make an iced tea rather than a warm tea.

Some days I will have an extra coffee in the afternoon if I’m crashing and need a caffeine pick me up. I do try to stick to just the one coffee if I can though.

passthemustard · 03/06/2020 17:21

2 cups of decaf coffee am
Large glass of water with breakfast/vitamins
A cup of tea or herbal tea in the afternoon
Water with dinner/while making dinner (might be sparkling or tap water sometimes maybe squash)
Cup of decaf or herb tea in the evening

Plus water or squash if I'm thirsty during the day.

happypotamus · 03/06/2020 17:29

At home: 2 cups of tea, maybe 4-5 mugs of water, depending on how hot it is, how thirsty I am.
Work days: mug of warm squash before work, water bottle of just under 500mls water during the 13hr shift, mug or 2 of water or squash when I get home.

Givemestrengthorgin · 03/06/2020 17:32

@ApplePie86 I'm also an avid diluting juice drinker!
As well as that I have two cups of spearmint tea every day which has totally eradicated my cystic acne....its quite amazing! And I've just started drinking instant coffee which I'm enjoying a lot and have one cup before I go a run most days.
I have a gin and tonic or a glass of wine one or two nights a week.

FizzyPink · 03/06/2020 17:33

Peppermint tea maybe once or twice a day
Otherwise loads and loads of water, I’m never out the bathroom!
