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

4-5 black coffees a day. 2+litres of weak sugar free squash a day.

Maybe a can of diet pop once a week on average?

SendCakes · 23/04/2022 14:47

About 10 large mugs of tea, occasionally switch for decaff coffee and have a fruit/herbal tea at bedtime.
I don't have fizzy drinks weekly, occasionally at home but mainly when I'm out.

iklboo · 23/04/2022 14:51

One coffee in the morning
1-2 cups of tea
Rarely drink juice / fizzy drinks
Gallons of water

Nidan2Sandan · 23/04/2022 14:51

3-4 cups of tea per day
1-2 cans of pepsi max per day
Water usually when I'm doing exercise.
I dont drink too much fruit juice, maybe diluting juice 2-3 times a week.
Pure juices, a handful of times per year. Very bad for the teeth so avoid.

Deadivy · 23/04/2022 14:59

One small cup of coffee first thing in the morning then one cup of Darjeeling tea in the afternoon.

Don't drink any juices or fizzy drinks apart from tonic water if I have a G&T.
I drink around 2L of water a day too.

Fruit Juice - 1-2 small glass a week on average. DS buys it - I try to avoid it but often too tempting.
Fizzy Drink - none now - I have gone through phases of having several cans of no sugar stuff but really need to start looking after my teeth better now.
Coffee - far too much. I need to cut down. When I'm at home probably 4 cups 2 at work) of caffeinated and then in the evening 1 cup of decaffeinated
I drink several glasses of sugar free squash
Tea - rarely - I like it but out of the habit

whenindoubtgotothelibrary · 23/04/2022 15:01

4-6 cups very strong black Bialetti coffee in the morning
Maybe 6-8 mugs of tea with a dash of milk
2-3 mugs of herbal tea in the evenings
try to have 1 glass water with dinner but often don't touch it

Looks awful written down. Never drink alcohol, fizzy drinks or juices though

CorsicaDreaming · 23/04/2022 15:09

Red Bush Cardamom to start the day
OR
Earl Grey Rooibos if I'm feeling especially fancy

Coffee - several massive mugs per day until around lunchtime
Tea- a selection starting with Assam, moving to Earl Grey, occasional foray into Builders, then a final straight of herbals - peppermint, ginger and lemon, weird Pukka ones that take my fancy, a sleepy tea or two, bed

Fizzy drinks - none (unless tonic water or Cawstons rhubarb)
Juice - very occasionally a tomato

Water - reasonable amount but should drink more...

Girlintheframe · 23/04/2022 15:13

Min 2 and sometimes 3 coffees

1L squash

2-3 herbal teas

ChazsBrilliantAttitude · 23/04/2022 15:16

1 cup normal and 2 cups decaf coffee
1-2 cups of tea
(all drinks without milk)
The rest is herbal tea or water.

No fruit juice or fizzy drinks normally.

grapehyacinthisactuallyblue · 23/04/2022 15:19

Green tea all day long, hot and cold.
Rarely drink anything else, but sometimes drink blueberry juice.

Imsittinginthekitchensink · 23/04/2022 15:19

3-4 black coffees, before about 2 pm. I then switch to fizzy water or mint tea for the rest of the day.

Ponderingwindow · 23/04/2022 15:28

3 espresso
no juice
non-stop fizzy water. I’m a bit obsessed and it’s calorie free so the only thing taking a hit is my budget. I stalk sales to feed my habit. I’ve thought about getting a machine to DIY, but I can’t find a reliable source of co2 cartridges in my rural area.

WillowintheUK · 23/04/2022 15:28

3-4 coffees a day.
1 can (occasionally 2) of Scotland’s Other National Drink.
2 large oranges squeezed each morning.
Constant fresh tap water - I’ve no clue how much I actually drink though.

I would like to drink some kind of fancy tea but can’t find one I like.

cliffdiver · 23/04/2022 15:38

x1 cup of tea

x3 herbal teas (camomile/peppermint)

1-2 litres of water

Rarely drink coffee/fizzy/juice

Svara · 23/04/2022 15:42

Two coffees a day. Herbal tea a few days a week.

Two coffees a day. Herbal tea a few days a week.

Other than that, water. Half pint of cider if stopping on a walk for a drink in the sunshine.
It's difficult if I eat out as I would actually prefer to drink tap water but feel self conscious not ordering any drink.

2ndTimeRound90 · 23/04/2022 15:48

Small glass of orange or apple juice with breakfast
1-3 cups of coffee
2-3 pints of tap water (sometimes squash)
Rarely have fizzy drinks, maybe once every 1-2 weeks at my parents house. We don't buy it in our house

jesusmaryjosephandtheweedonkey · 23/04/2022 15:52

Mon to Friday I have 4 coffees a day and a litre of cordial.
Weekend I have 8 coffees a day

RewildingAmbridge · 23/04/2022 15:52

Coffee not at all in summer, maybe one or two a week in winter same with tea but even then some weeks no hot drinks. Mainly drink water, quite often have some cans of San Pellegrino or similar in the fridge at work (ugly water is a new favourite). I do like raspberry Pepsi Max or vanilla coke zero but don't buy them often, when I do I open the bottle pour some out (give to DH) and shake it until it's almost flat. DH thinks I'm odd, I just don't like very fizzy things. Usually have a glass of Clementine juice with breakfast at the weekend.

GlitteryGreen · 23/04/2022 15:53

I usually have 3(ish) teas...decaf currently, and then maybe 1 pint of squash during the day. Can of coke zero with dinner. No fruit juice.

Chaoslatte · 23/04/2022 15:56

Probably 1 small glass of juice (we have small glasses we just use for juice), 1-2 pint glasses of squash, 1-2 more pints of water and maybe 1 cup of tea but I don’t have tea every day.

MrOllivander · 23/04/2022 15:57

Normal tea with milk no sugar 5 mugs
Sometimes a couple of herbal tea
1-2l water with some sugar free squash

Varies on if I'm working or not, exercise etc

Today I've had a tea, a coffee and 1.5l water

HRTQuestions · 23/04/2022 16:21

5-6 mugs of tea (breakfast x2, earl grey 2-3 and decaf in the evening)
Water.
fizzy drink rarely, only if I'm feeling dizzy when out or have a headache.
Fruit juice, buy a bottle once a month.

HalloVegBot · 23/04/2022 16:24
