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

One coffee and one large orange juice at breakfast, then just water for the rest of the day. Unless it’s very cold, and then I have fruit tea in an attempt to warm up. I’m surprised so many people don’t ever drink fruit juice. Fizzy drinks, on the other hand, I’m completely unmoved by and almost never have them.

I always drink at least one cup of coffee a day. I have a sodastream so I drink a lot of sparkling water when I'm at home. And I about five fizzy drinks a week and maybe three glasses of juice. I also try to drink a lot of water but don't always succeed.

lljkk · 23/04/2022 20:17

Caffeinated Tea - 2 mugs / day except when hot ; something caffeinated & fizzy on hot days instead
Fizzy - small glass/day typically, more on hot days
Juice : do we count wine? small glass/day on avg I suppose, including wines
Coffee - never

I don't like plain still water, tend to reach for anything else, but will drink plain water on long walks/outside exercising

Hawkins001 · 23/04/2022 20:20

Mainly tea total, on average around 10-15 cups of tea in a day, or if only in from around 5, then it's around 9 mugs.

Hawkins001 · 23/04/2022 20:20

Apple and orange juice very rarely

OverByYer · 23/04/2022 20:27

5-6 teas if working
1 coffee
about 500mls water , normally sparkling

NoSquirrels · 23/04/2022 20:29

Loads of tea.

A coffee.

No juice or fuzzy drinks regularly.

DoodleBelle · 23/04/2022 20:29

daily hot drinks: 1-2 coffees a day, 1-3 teas a day both with milk no sugar

weekly hot drinks: 1-2 green teas, 1 hot chocolate, 1-2 herbal teas

daily cold drinks: peach squash a couple of litres a day

weekly cold drinks: 2-3 diet cokes, 2-3 orange juice, a couple of litres of flavoured waters sometimes sparkling sometimes still

LunaMay · 23/04/2022 20:29

Massive soft drink addict here.

I'd average 4 600ml bottle of waters during the day just at work and maybe 2 glasses at home during the evening

I'd easily have at least 5-6 cans between getting home at 4 and going to bed at roughly 1 each night. Being home all day on weekends is a nightmare cause I drink even more.

jealousgirl · 23/04/2022 20:43

3 decaf coffees
1-2 tea
2 herbal tea
2-3 water

MangoLipstick · 23/04/2022 20:47

daily
coffee - 2 cup ( decaf)
Myra - 1 cup (decaf)
ginger and lemon herbal tea -1 cup most days
water - about 6 glasses

sometimes have fresh oj at the weekends if out for breakfast but don’t drink fizzy drinks.

Libertaire · 23/04/2022 20:51

Tea : At least 4 large mugs a day. Strong, just a splash of milk & no sugar for me pls. 🙂
Coffee : 3 or 4 cups a week at a cafe or from DP’s fancy machine.
Juice / smoothie : One glass a day, first thing in the morning.
Fizzy drinks : Occasionally. I can’t actually remember the last time I had a fizzy drink. Probably Christmas.
Water : I refill my bottle from the fridge throughout the working day.

I weirdly love orange juice diluted half and half with v cold water and lots of ice
Find it a bit too sickly otherwise but it's refreshing diluted

Titsywoo · 23/04/2022 20:53

I only really drink water apart from the odd vodka and coke at the weekend. I only really feel refreshed by drinking water and I don't like hot drinks. I drink quite a lot of water across the day.

ILoveAllRainbowsx · 23/04/2022 20:55

I only drink water

TheFormidableMrsC · 23/04/2022 20:55

2L water a day. Tea 1st thing (with sugar). 2 or 3 coffees morning only (no sugar). 2 or 3 teas later in the day but decaf because it affects me otherwise. Might have the occasional soft drink or flavoured water. I save pressed fruit juice for weekend breakfast. Quite honestly I'd rather be drinking full fat Ribena all day but I don't.

TheFormidableMrsC · 23/04/2022 20:57

Oh wine, I forgot wine. Try to stick to Saturday only. Usually fail.

MargaretThursday · 23/04/2022 21:27

0 tea, 0 coffee
Rarely juice
Too much fizzy.

MarmitesMyMate · 23/04/2022 21:30

Diet coke.. Maybe 7/ 8 cans a day.
Yes its bad. No I don't have teeth issues.
Yes i need to cut down and have done (was 12 to 16 a day)

Occasional squash or water.

1.cup tea a day

AliasGrape · 23/04/2022 21:40

Between 3 and 6 cups of tea a day - try to swap some of them out for herbal (I like mint, camomile and ginger varieties) but not always

Don’t drink coffee

Juice/ fizzy drinks - not very often, sometimes if I’m getting a meal deal (though usually get a flavoured water) or if eating out but not having an alcoholic drink.

volezvoo · 23/04/2022 21:43

About 4 coffees :/ can’t go without it

Redeyed · 23/04/2022 21:46

One coffee in the morning
One tea after lunch
One glass of fizzy
At least 6 glasses of water

Dressperate · 23/04/2022 21:53

2 litres of plain water, don't enjoy it but force myself to keep drinking throughout the day.
1 can of Nocco, FitAid or occasionally sugar free Monster at CrossFit, which I do 6-7 days a week. Once a week or so I'll crack and have another one at work.
Usually have sugar free squash with dinner.

I'll have a can of cherry Pepsi Max or a Coke/Sprite Zero if we get a takeaway or go out for dinner.
Never, ever drink tea, coffee or milk, don't like any of them.
Probably drink alcohol 2 or 3 times a year.

XenoBitch · 23/04/2022 22:00

Tea - about 5 cups a day. Coffee - no more than 2 a week. I don't drink juice or fizzy drinks.
