I know i am being unreasonable.. everyone just likes what they like, im not daft...

But i cant imagine not having a hot drink. I drink both coffee and tea and try most of the new fandangled options that are forever coming onto the market. I use hot drinks as a way to relax and socialise. Almost all my friends drink hot drinks so its a bit alien to me to not have them..

What thing(s) do you absolutely love but cant get your head around other people disliking??

Vera I think that’s the saddest thing I ever read. No tea or coffee and NO BOOZE either.Shock

I rarely drink booze either. I’m a saddo who prefers a nice cold glass of fruit juice lmao.

Coffee is a conspiracy and I don’t believe anyone who says they like it.

I don't drink hot drinks, I just don't like them. I drink squash or fizzy pop.

I also don't drink alcohol very often, I'll have a cider a couple of times a year but that's it.

Kingkiller · 28/07/2018 09:50

Hot drinks just don't seem natural to me. We have to heat them up first..animals don't do this to drink.

Do you also eat all your food raw, like animals do? Grin

I like coffee and loooove tea. I'd certainly rather give up booze than tea.

I feel that way about whiskey and the lord of the rings

Where do all the hot drink naysayers stand on soup?

AnExcellentUsername · 28/07/2018 10:33

Soup is great, it's also not a drink.

MaryShelley1818 · 28/07/2018 10:37

I don’t drink hot drinks...and don’t want any pets (love them but have a baby so would want to wait until he was much older!)
I do however absolutely love reading and spa days!

recklessruby · 28/07/2018 10:43

Heaven would be an empty house a day off a big new book to read and coffee coffee coffee. Don't understand what's not to like?

MrSpock · 28/07/2018 10:54

Hate it. Is it a food? Is it a drink? Is it some abomination of the two?

Hate the stuff.

Cattenberg · 28/07/2018 10:55

I don't drink tea because I don't like the taste and coffee makes me ill.

I've never liked the faffing around at work. Who likes which mug, who thinks the milk should go in first, who likes sugar, who has sweetener instead, getting it to the right shade on the Pantone chart or the person "can't drink it", waiting until it's the right temperature and then having to drink it before it gets cold, leaving unwashed mugs around everywhere...

I don't understand people who don't like travel. Not because they can't afford it, but because they're not interested. Especially those who never go abroad at all because they think they wouldn't like it.

Cattenberg · 28/07/2018 10:55

I like soup! Especially in winter.

parteeesss · 28/07/2018 11:01

They all taste bad. The only hot drink in a mug, I have about once every three years, is a cup a soup.

AjasLipstick · 28/07/2018 11:01

Soup's not a bloody drink you heathen. Grin

parteeesss · 28/07/2018 11:02

Proper soup in a bowl is not a drink. Its food.

MrSpock · 28/07/2018 11:03

Soup's not a bloody drink you heathen

I feel the same about most sauces. They’re some abomination between liquid and solid and I hate it. Grin

ProfessorMoody · 28/07/2018 11:53

I don't drink tea, coffee or booze either. Or pop or fruit juice. Just water and the odd milk.

What's sad about that? It's personal preference.

Soup isn't a drink, but cup a soup is! The receptacle and thickness changes it surely?

TotHappy · 28/07/2018 12:25

Where do the naysayers to hot drinks stand on the trumvirate of winter drinks: Mulled wine, mulled cider and hot rum punch? Bonfire night is ace with a warm cup of spiced wine.

I hate ketchup and always have. Also baked beans, except just by themselves on toast - definitely NOT with a fried breakfast - THEY DO NOT GO!

AnExcellentUsername · 28/07/2018 12:43

^ yuck, yuck and yuck.

Fifthtimelucky · 28/07/2018 13:32

No to the triumvirate of winter drinks, no to tea and herbal teas of any description. I very very occasionally drink coffee. I love the smell and like the flavour (eg in coffee cake) but virtually never drink it. Last time I had some (18 months or so ago) I was in and out of the loo all afternoon. I hadn't realised that caffeine was a diuretic. I obviously have no tolerance to it.

The only hot drinks I ever drink, and then not at all after and only in the winter are: a) hot chocolate but it's only worth drinking if extremely chocolatey and very creamy (good for when you have come in from playing in the snow); b) warm milk with honey); good for when you want to curl up with a good book); and hot ginger and lemongrass cordial or lemonade and honey (good for when you have a cold).

Love soup!

tor8181 · 29/07/2018 01:00

i dont drink tea,coffee or hot chocolate so no hot drinks for me

i drink a lot of water and milk

Blankscreen · 29/07/2018 01:06

I hate all.hot drinks even hot chocolate. I love the smell.of coffee but I find the smell of teabags disgusting.
I also don't like soup.

I don't like the way hot drinks or soup swill around in my stomach.

I like my drinks with a lot of ice in them.

WhipItGood · 29/07/2018 22:46

I quite like soup, but, and I know this is probably grim..I prefer it just lukewarm/cool.

Even I know this is all wrong. But I just can’t enjoy hot liquids 😬

londonrach · 29/07/2018 22:52

Because tea and coffee are emperior new clothes everyone says they like it but seriously tea tastes like dish washer water and coffee bitter. Might just be my taste buds there. Now hot chocolate with marsh mellows...what not to love

MrSpock · 29/07/2018 22:53

that’s the coffee conspiracy I’m on about lmao! No one can actually like it.
