  1. Coke. Over sweet and doesn't quench thirst. Never saw the point of it.
  2. Milk and anything milky. Ugh.
Berlinlover · 01/05/2024 23:48

Any kind of alcohol.

Chocochick · 01/05/2024 23:50

It's easier to say what I DO like (decent coffee, water, occasional tea, some herb teas, wine)!

Specifically dislike:
Sweet drinks of any kind
Anything thick eg McDonalds milkshakes (like wallpaper paste) or with lumps like bubble tea
Milk and milkshakes in general
Instant coffee
Flavoured coffee
Flavoured water
Beer
Whisky
Hot chocolate in all its variations
Cappuccino or latte
Builders tea
Artificial tasting fruit or herb tea

Iced tea or coffee. They're lovely hot drinks for me but taste weird when cold.

Hot chocolate. Too sweet for me (possibly also why I don't like iced tea/coffee as they often have syrups etc and I don't take any sugar in my hot drinks).

Any fruity/herbal teas. I don't know what it is but I just can't drink them. I'm not even an Earl Grey or green tea fan. Just give me good old Tetley with a splash of milk.

Anything with artificial sweeteners or stevia as they give me headaches.

If I do want something sweet to drink then I'll have fruit juice or a Coke. I can't stand Pepsi but they've started adding sweeteners so that's off the table now anyway.

I love white wine but not any of the lower alcohol ones as they always end up too sweet and fruity and I prefer a dry wine.

I seem to have a theme with the drinks I don't like so much. I also don't tend to eat much in the way of sweets and desserts. I cut most sugar out for health reasons so having more than a little now makes me feel queasy.

Root beer. Tastes like toothpaste.

Lucythecleaner · 02/05/2024 00:32

Water

radiatordrama · 02/05/2024 00:34

Barley coffee 🤢

MegsNaiceJam · 02/05/2024 00:45

“Beefy drink” from vending machines, or Bovril. Cannot stand the smell.

I also fell for the look of Aperol Spritz. Grim.

Tonic water. Pulls my stomach.

Pernod. Tequila. Malibu. 🤢

aintnospringchicken · 02/05/2024 01:08

Coca Cola and Pepsi

BresciaBike · 02/05/2024 01:13

I forgot about butter tea! That's a texture and a half. Couldn't drink it. And I've yet to have a moonshine or a home brew that's pleasant.

SnowFrogJelly · 02/05/2024 01:39

Coke

Lostsadandconfused · 02/05/2024 01:45

Vodka and lemonade or vodka in general.
Any of the substitute milks, especially soy.

DrJoanAllenby · 02/05/2024 03:38

Tea. Even the smell of it makes me heave. I don't actually know anyone who drinks it, thank goodness.

Catsmere · 02/05/2024 05:04

Any alcohol. Never tried bubble tea and don't intend to, I loathe tapioca.

soupmaker · 02/05/2024 05:15

Another one who can't stomach the mere thought of drinking milk. Foul. Can't have it in or on anything.

Dandelion and Burdock, Root Beer, both filth. See also Prosecco, gut rot imho.

I do however love a negroni.

cerisepanther73 · 02/05/2024 05:19

Any type of larger and whiskey

CeeJay81 · 02/05/2024 05:21

Also Beer, Tonic Water, champagne. Anything that tastes bitter/dry I have a sweet tooth.

useitorlose · 02/05/2024 05:25

Coffee, hot black tea with or without milk, all alcohol, anything fizzy, apple juice, tomato juice, most juice drinks eg Oasis.

Doesn't leave much!

Neveralonewithaclone · 02/05/2024 05:27

Alcohol, especially red wine which I can smell across the room. Milk is vile and tea dishwater.

ArcticBells · 02/05/2024 05:28

Green tea and Campari

froggirl · 02/05/2024 05:29

Sparkling water
Root beer
Tomato/ carrot juice (why?) - and by proxy - Bloody Mary!
