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, posh fizzy drink like elderflower, or flavoured water, juice or smoothie, or the kids squash. Occasionally an ice cold coke or red bull.
Mostly it's water though. The others are alcohol substitutes really.

Water, occasionally something from Bottle Green or similar. I worry about my waist and teeth more now but it's always been mostly water.

Coke or water

YouJustDoYou · 17/05/2019 09:28

Don't usually drink with a meal. Cuppa tea after.

HoozTurnIsIt · 17/05/2019 09:39

Even if I have wine I drink water as well. Usually a couple of large glasses with a main meal.

MyKingdomForACaramel · 17/05/2019 09:39

For me it really depends on the food... pasta - wine or water, anything with chips or similar - Diet Coke, curry - beer or a squash ... I’m weird - I think certain drinks go with certain things (or not).

Nothing; I can't multitask.

Water

TinyTear · 17/05/2019 09:40

Water, why is it boring?

DerelictWreck · 17/05/2019 09:41

Water. I never understand this need for liquids with meals to be delicious!

KnittingForMittens · 17/05/2019 09:41

Diet Coke or water.

CrispbuttyNo1 · 17/05/2019 09:41

If I'm eating out then coke or beer, at home maybe squash, or a glass of wine.

Growing up we never had drinks with a meal, it was always a cup of tea after we had finished eating.

Laniakea · 17/05/2019 09:41

Water!

adaline · 17/05/2019 09:43

Diet Coke, Ribena or lemonade. Occasionally sparkling water.

I only really have alcohol with meals in restaurants. I have tea/coffee if I'm out having breakfast or some cake in a cafe though.

MatchSetPoint · 17/05/2019 09:43

Water, Diet Coke, Vimto, pineapple juice or whatever I fancy, I don’t have a set drink but it’s usually my last drink of the night after dinner I tend to just drink water.

happyhillock · 17/05/2019 09:44

FuzzyPuffling · 17/05/2019 09:45

Water, the tap variety. I don't find it boring at all and means I can taste the food for what it is.
