@ApplePie86 @Givemestrengthorgin my partner loves squash and I had to stop calling him a 4 year old because I'm strictly a water girl and haven't touched squash for years. Then I discovered how good Ribena is with sparkling water 😬.

Normal working day :

Morning : Glass of juice & large mug of very strong tea, made with two Yorkshire bags brewed for at least 5 minutes.

Throughout the day : Bottles of chilled water from the cooler, at least 2 litres in summer.

Evening: One or two mugs of tea or squash.

Weekend : Morning : juice or one of DP’s amazing smoothies. Coffee made in cafetière.

Throughout the day : whatever I fancy.

Evening: If we don’t go out, we usually start with G&Ts then share a bottle of wine with dinner, then I might have a beer or two later.

Usually two cups of tea a day, one cup of decaf coffee, plus a few glasses of water. And white wine or beer once or twice a week. I don't drink fruit juice, squash or fizzy soft drinks at all, don't really like them.

Menaimum · 03/06/2020 18:38

Daily
Two cups coffee with milk
2l sparkling water
Occasionally (5/fortnight?)
Two 200ml smoothies
Alcohol maybe one unit once a month with a soft drink mixer.

Shallwedancetomojito · 03/06/2020 18:38

Soon as I wake Ill drink a little water.
Then I'll have a Green tea with also a lemon cut into it.
Water throughout the day, usually I get through a 1.5 liter Volvic bottle.

Occasionally I have a drink in the evening, and if I'm out I would usually have a latte.

From what I'm saying I drink in the day probably makes me sound like a posh snob but I'm far from it 😂

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 03/06/2020 18:38

Interesting to read. I don't drink enough water at all, maybe I should add some squash to it.

2 big cups of coffee first thing in the morning and then about 8-10 glasses of water, occasionally some herbal tea if the mood takes me.

maddiemookins16mum · 03/06/2020 18:39

Working day -
Tea first thing and a coffee before leaving for work.
On average 2 mugs of tea at work and lots of water.
Tea when I get in and after dinner.

Weekends - probably about the same and maybe a can of coke or lilt.

No alcohol as recovering alcoholic.

Drink water throughout the morning

Glass of wine later on

Weekend:

Tea when I wake up
Coffee with breakfast
Another cup of coffee at about 10.30 - 11ish

Couple of gin and tonics or a few glasses of wine with dinner/in the evening

Ginkypig · 03/06/2020 18:47

Depending on how busy I am about 3-6 coffees a day no sugar splash of semi or skimmed milk.
Not sure exactly but about 10 large glasses of tap water per day.

At the weekend I normally have the same as above but also 1/2 bottle of red wine on Saturday night and Roughly every 4-6 weeks I'll fancy another 1/2 bottle on another night too.

Then randomly in the month il have a spirit and mixer normally about 3-4 over the month.
Some weeks no spirits but another week I might have 1 or 2 in a night. No pattern to it.

eandz13 · 03/06/2020 18:56

2/3 coffees every morning before I function properly
Glass of water every hour or two for duration of day
Always a hot chocolate before bed
Take glass of water to bed for overnight

Whereland · 03/06/2020 19:09

I'm really surprised by how little water people drink! I'm constantly slugging from my water bottle

Zisforstripyoss · 03/06/2020 19:11

2 cups of tea before breakfast.
Tea or coffee with breakfast
A couple more teas or coffees before lunch
Maybe another tea or coffee in the afternoon
Maybe another tea after dinner
Lots of water throughout the day
Can of pop mid afternoon - currently enjoying 7 up cherry
Sometimes a hot chocolate before bed

I don't really drink alcohol unless I'm on holiday, but if I do, it will be a g&t or two after dinner.

I drink a lot.

Lostinbooksandcoffee · 03/06/2020 19:16

Cup of tea when I first wake up
Pot of coffee with breakfast
I'll then have another tea and coffee in the afternoon (one with lunch and mid afternoon, but varies which depending on what I fancy)
Sometimes have a cup of decaffeinated tea in the evening
I drink water with all meals and I try to have a few glasses or fill my Chillys bottle up throughout the day.

Occasionally I'll have a glass of wine with my evening meal, or lemonade about once a week.

I have a small glass of orange juice every day to take a multi vitamin, but I also have a glass when I have scrambled eggs or peanut butter on toast for breakfast.

Gallons of sea water - but then I do drink like a fish. Hmm

littlealexhorne · 03/06/2020 19:33

About 4-5 litres of sparkling water throughout the day. I've never been a fan of hot drinks and I've (finally!) managed to kick my diet coke habit now.

IndieRo · 03/06/2020 19:36

Cup of tea when I wake up, small glass of orange juice with breakfast. Water with lemon during the day. The odd small glass of Coke zero or red lemonade. I always have a glass of full fat milk at about 7pm. At the weekend, a light beer.

SpeedofaSloth · 03/06/2020 19:37

All the tea.
