Just that really. I will occasionally have wine or beer but don't want it every night, water seems a bit boring and juice too sweet to go with savoury stuff. What do you have?

Water or tea. Or nothing.

This thread is enlightening. I didn’t know cucumber water was called Rubens.

I like cucumber water in the summer, as well as strawberry & mint water.

I just have a fruit smoothie for my evening meal so that is a meal and a drink for me. I have a big lunch though.

Nothing. The DC have water.

I can't believe the number of people saying squash. The last time I had a glass of squash was probably 1978 at the Methodist youth club.

Bizarrely my oh and I drink squash and our DC hate it.

BrokenWing · 17/05/2019 17:33

Tap water mostly, occasionally wine.

No, but I haven't heard anybody say "cordial" since 1977.

Cordial is “posh squash” IMO (elderflower, lime, etc)

34plus4 · 17/05/2019 18:50

A brew!

Chickenwing · 17/05/2019 18:53

I have Coke zero or Sprite zero with dinner every night except froday/Saturday night when I have wine :)

Loyaultemelie · 17/05/2019 19:01

Slimline tonic (I drink about a litre a day Blush)

howwudufeel · 17/05/2019 19:03

I class Vimto as cordial and that’s definitely not posh!

MarshaBradyo · 17/05/2019 19:06

Water
Also drink tonic water usually pre-meal

Ragwort · 17/05/2019 19:08

Wine, try to have a couple of alcohol free nights a week but doesn’t usually happen Blush.
