Mine:-

Two cups of tea (milk, no sugar) - one first thing, one around 5pm
Two cups of coffee (no milk, no sugar) - mid morning and mid afternoon
One bottle sparkling water (330ml) - throughout the day
Glass of wine or a bottle of beer with my evening meal

Tea, probably 7 or 8 mugs.
2 on getting up/breakfast
1 with each meal, 1 before bed and the other 2 or 3 in between times.

Filter Coffee maybe once or twice a week, water ditto, alcohol very occasionally.

Around 8 cups of tea on a regular day with maybe a glass of fizzy juice if I've splashed out and bought any Grin

2 mugs of tea (milk no sugar) when I wake up. Then probably another 4 or 5 mugs during the day, plus 1 or 2 filter coffees. I don’t really do water unless I have Fiji water in. Very occasionally I have a Coke Zero (only in hot weather). I don’t drink alcohol. I stop drinking liquids around 5pm and then have water if I’m thirsty. I’m not always running to the loo despite that lot and my skin is clear. Also I never drink with a meal at home, if eating out I might have sparkling water with a meal.

4-6pts of fizzy water, nothing else. I love my sodastream. A year ago it would have been 4-6pts of diet coke!

gingercat02 · 03/06/2020 17:46

2-3 mugs coffee. 1 before work 1-2 when I'm at work, 1-2 500ml bottles water at work, 1-2 pint glasses water at home.
Red wine of varying quantities depending on day/mood

MashedSpud · 03/06/2020 17:47

2-3 coffees
Water throughout the day/evening
Sometimes Pepsi Max cherry.

Marmite27 · 03/06/2020 17:48

2x 300ml tea with 2 sweetener and skimmed milk
2x 700ml bottles with sugar free squash

Occasionally another small drink at meal times if I forget to bring my bottle to the table.

I got used to using waterbottles and thermo cups when I had grabby babies and now it feels weird to use cups/glasses.

wildcherries · 03/06/2020 17:50

1,5 litres water (3x500ml throughout the day, mainly after meals)
Two mugs of tea with a little sugar
One glass of orange juice or Pepsi Max

Marmite27 · 03/06/2020 17:50

I forgot! Friday a can of 7up free or Fanta zero with a later dinner when the kids are in bed and maybe a small cider or glass of wine on Saturday night

1-2 black coffees
Water (sometimes with no added sugar squash)

That's it on the regular.

I do enjoy a cold can of Diet Coke as a treat though in the summer or maybe an Innocent/Naked green smoothie.

ElectricTonight · 03/06/2020 17:57

Water mostly unless I have a cup of tea in the morning.

Coffee first thing, 1 sugar and milk

Coffee around 10:30am, 1 sugar and milk

Then onto Ribena
If I have fizzy water in then I drink a lot of that.
Then it's the wine!

On a typical day...

Two flat white coffees (one just after breakfast and one mid afternoon)
Water with lunch and dinner

On a Friday or Saturday DH and I might share a bottle of wine or have a beer each. Occasionally a G&T though we're out of tonics at the moment.

Megan2018 · 03/06/2020 18:01

About 6 pints of water. Half will be still (filtered tap), half will be sparkling (soda stream) with a dash of lime.

Occasionally a glass of proper wine, alcohol free wine or Becks Blue.

I don’t drink any hot drinks.

3 - 4 x 12oz cans of unsweetened fizzy water.

Cup of green tea or herbal tisane.

Occasionally a glass of red wine or vodka and tonic - mainly on a weekend night.

Roselilly36 · 03/06/2020 18:02

Cup of tea in bed every morning, another cup of tea, a coffee, mint tea, water, glass of wine on Weekend evenings.

momtoolliex · 03/06/2020 18:03

I just drink water! I also drink a lot of milk because I'm heavily pregnant with bad heartburn and it helps. I used to drink a can or two of coke a day but have managed to cut this down to just a couple times a week now Smile

roarfeckingroar · 03/06/2020 18:05

Two black coffees, no sugar, from my coffee machine.

One large glass of orange juice with ice (pregnancy craving).

About 10 pints of water and a 1.5l sparkling water.

Small glass of wine once a week (pregnancy - normally more).

A couple of cups of ginger tea.

Party central here 😁

DonnaDarko · 03/06/2020 18:07

At a minimum

2 coffees per day at least
3 pints glasses of water

If I drank as much as some people on here, I'd be living on the toilet 😂
