Just interested to see how much of these everyone drinks per day?

I usually have 1-2 glasses of fruit juice a day (pure juice, not from concentrate). Add another glass if eating out.

Coffee - I average 1 a week. I like it but don't feel the need to have it more often.

Tea - black tea, 1-2 times a week. If I'm in the UK, 1-2 a day though. Herbal tea - a lot. 3-4 cups per day? Less in summer.

Pommelegible · 23/04/2022 13:34

Usually in a day
3 teas
1 coffee
1 green tea
2 herbal teas
1 or 2 waters

no squash/juice/fizzy (unless I have a gin and tonic)

In my last pregnancy I couldn’t drink cold drinks without vomiting and I’m still really out of the habit of drinking them

TabithaHazel · 23/04/2022 13:36

1 cup of coffee in the morning
2 cups herbal tea during the day
Fizzy water throughout the day, no juice or fizzy drinks usually, although I do like a G&T at the weekend if that counts..

chatw0o0 · 23/04/2022 13:37

Around two cups per day each of tea and coffee (tea varies between milk, herbal, black etc). Coffee always with milk.
Otherwise I drink water the rest of the time.
Fizzy drink maybe once a fortnight on average, and hardly ever have friut juice.

DramaAlpaca · 23/04/2022 13:37

Fizzy drinks - rarely
Coffee - four or five every week, never drink it at home or work
Tea - endless mugs daily, love it
Water - a couple of pints a day

nearlyspringyay · 23/04/2022 13:37

None! Used to be a coffee fiend but covid ruined that. Have never like tea or fruit juice.

I drink water, usually sparkling, sometime have squash.

fellrunner85 · 23/04/2022 13:40

Too much coffee. One cup of tea on average.
No fizzy drinks apart from alcohol free beer sometimes

GrouchyKiwi · 23/04/2022 13:43

2 cups of coffee first thing
1 peppermint tea
1 red fruit infusion
Another coffee, maybe two if bad sleep
Another peppermint tea
Black tea of some description
Juice with dinner
Nettle tea
Fennel tea
Maybe a hot chocolate of an evening too.

My mug is 440ml. I like a big mug.

DoubleShotEspresso · 23/04/2022 13:43

Way too much coffee-I've usually hit double figures by noon and continue well into the evening. No defence but I get minimal sleep due to being ft Carer to disabled child so it's literally my best coping method.
Drink water first thing and throughout afternoon.
One large glass of cola late evening with dinner.
I tend to make our own fresh juices once a day through the week and bigger batches at weekend.
Not ideal I guess

XiPooh · 23/04/2022 13:46

Never drink tea, coffee or pop. Used to drink orange juice or tomato juice for breakfast but gave that up a couple of years ago as was having really bad acid reflux, so a very rare treat now. I just drink water or milk, boring!

tinierclanger · 23/04/2022 13:46

on average

2-3 cups of tea (might hit 4 on some days)
1 coffee
1 green tea
1-2 camomile teas
1 glass of orange juice

doggiescats · 23/04/2022 13:50

Approx 2teas Earl grey
2 coffees
water
I don’t like fizzy drinks

JanisMoplin · 23/04/2022 13:53

2-3 coffees a day. It is my only vice. Zero fizzy drinks or juice.

tiredanddangerous · 23/04/2022 13:53

On average 3 x tea with milk, 1 x coffee with milk and a can of Diet Coke. Sometimes a glass of sparkling water. I never drink plain water.

Crankley · 23/04/2022 13:56

None. I only drink water and sometimes alcohol.

Deadringer · 23/04/2022 13:56

About 3/4 cups of tea, two skinny lattes (from a packet) and a couple of glasses of water a day. Never drink juice or fizzy drinks. (unless it's a barcardi and coke).

dementedpixie · 23/04/2022 13:57

2-3 teas
1 or 2 glasses of fizzy stuff
Water at exercise classes
Wine on a Friday night
Vodka on a Saturday night (in a large glass with mixers)

vdbfamily · 23/04/2022 13:57

I drink just water into lunchtime. Have a Redbush tea after lunch and a decaff coffee in the evening on workdays. Friday and weekend I start the day with a proper coffee. I don't have fruit juice every day but might have some with evening meal. Mainly water....always a water bottle on the go.
I am not a health freak. In fact I am morbidly obese but don't like normal tea and for last 6 months or so have been fasting from evening meal to lunch Monday to Thursday, so morning coffee stopped and that was the only caffeine I was drinking.

Ferntastical · 23/04/2022 13:58

I drink a coffee every morning and very occassionally another later on.

I then would tend to drink water for the rest of the day (somewhere around a litre of sparkling water).

CounsellorTroi · 23/04/2022 13:59

5 -6 cups of tea a day, occasional coffee or hot chocolate, no fruit juice eat fruit instead) or fizzy drinks.

Captainj1 · 23/04/2022 14:02

5 or 6 cups of tea a day (usually all in the morning)
No coffee - don't like it

DailySheetWasher · 23/04/2022 14:04

1-2 hot drinks a day. Coffee, tea or herbal tea.

Juice only at holiday breakfast buffets and the odd Coke if I'm hungover.

LadyJaneHall · 23/04/2022 14:09

I drink one Juice and 6 or 8 teas daily with occasional weak coffee. I never drink fizzy drinks as they upset my stomach.
