Oh god. Work day
8am tea
9am tea
11am tea
1pm tea
3pm tea
So that's 5, and often a couple more
About 1-2L weak sugar free squash

Mycatsmellsbad · 03/06/2020 19:45

I’m showing my mum this thread - she literally has one cup of coffee a day and that’s it. No wonder her kidneys are fucked.

My intake is slightly better:

Around 2l water throughout the day
6am coffee
9am tea
11am coffee
3pm tea
7pm bottle of beer or glass of wine
8pm vodka and coke
9pm weak squash with speaking water to take to bed so it keeps fresh in the night if I wake then I neck it as soon as I wake up

lachy · 03/06/2020 20:02

DH brings me a coffee in bed when he gets up and I'll have another couple before lunch.

I drink at least 3 litres of water a day, ocassionally I might have a Pepsi Max, but I'm quite happy with plain old tap water to he honest.

Weekends - I might have a couple of drinks, but I'm not fussed either way.

GreyGardens88 · 03/06/2020 20:04

Cup of Coffee first thing whilst watching BBC breakfast
Then throughout the day a mixture of diet coke, water and squash
I need to get rid of fizzy drinks as I have dodgy digestion at the best of time and I get terrible wind and gas, but it's so addictive

GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal · 03/06/2020 20:05

  • A minimum of 2.5 litres of water
  • 3-4 cups of coffee (cream, no sugar)
  • Occasionally an afternoon cup of tea (milk, no sugar) or almond milk chai latte
  • a peppermint tea before bed most evenings

Quite often a couple of G&Ts or a glass of wine or two. Smile

3 black coffees - no sugar
1 Latte (home made)
2 pints of water
1 small glass of orange juice occasionally

tiredanddangerous · 03/06/2020 20:12

Generally 2 cups of tea, 2 coffees, a can of Diet Coke and a glass of water. Sometimes have a glass of orange juice with breakfast. Caffeine makes me pee constantly so I really should give it up. Easier said than done.

mylittlesandwich · 03/06/2020 20:12

Water with breakfast and lunch, probably 500mls in total. Then another 500mls ish over the afternoon. Fizzy juice with dinner, usually sprite or Diet Coke. Then I'll have some more water and sometimes a glass of wine. Well that's exciting, not. I got into the habit of drinking water while I was pregnant and it stuck.

selfisolationsociety · 03/06/2020 20:13

Small glass of innocent blue smoothie
2-3 litres of water
