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

Rezie · 17/05/2019 11:26

Fizzy water, tap water with lemon or lime juice in it and sometimes Lime cordial, love it.

Tiptopj · 17/05/2019 11:53

Always a cup of Yorkshire tea! Some friends find that really strange so in glad to see I'm not the only one

Ellabella989 · 17/05/2019 11:54

Water

GunpowderGelatine · 17/05/2019 11:54

Coca Cola or juice. I find it weird that some people find this weird

cocomelon23 · 17/05/2019 11:59

Water. I dont want to add any flavours of juice/coke etc to my food.

PineappleTart · 17/05/2019 12:00

Water or a cup of tea.

Except Fridays. Fridays is wine.

Eliza9919 · 17/05/2019 12:01

Water or occasionally squash, I used to drink lemonade and never learnt that I shouldn't do that when eating due to bloat & belly-ache.

Now I've pretty much given up fizzy drinks unless I'm getting a mcd's or kfc etc or am out at a restaurant/pub.

JurassicGirl · 17/05/2019 12:01

High juice, water or tea!

MadamMMA · 17/05/2019 12:01

Nothing, its bad for digestion to drink and eat at the same time :)

joebtfsplks · 17/05/2019 12:02

I love a glass of wine with my dinner ~and after~

But if I'm abstaining I really love a hot drink with my meal. A decaf or herbal tea. I just find it's better than water!

serenoa · 17/05/2019 12:04

Tap water, filtered.

Langrish · 17/05/2019 12:05

Madam

Didn’t know that.

Ok, here are 5 dry cream crackers. You’ve got 2 minutes, no water, off you go Grin

BrightSpells · 17/05/2019 12:07

Tonic water - plain, lemon, lime or elderflower

Occasionally Pepsi max

Gth1234 · 17/05/2019 12:08

depends what it is. Anything fried, you need a cup of tea.

Fiveredbricks · 17/05/2019 12:15

@pickletickled if he gets bloated after a beer he might want to go and get checked for coeliac you know, it's common but bloating after everything isn't all that 'normal' even if it's a fizzy drink.

ChesterDrawsDoesntExist · 17/05/2019 12:18

We have fizzy pop. DH and I both really dislike water.

ooooohbetty · 17/05/2019 12:20

Tea. Northern.

Fiveredbricks · 17/05/2019 12:22

@ooooohbetty that's just grim, not northern 😳 no one I know would ever have tea with a meal apart from breakfast. Who wants a hot milky drink with a meal?? 🤢 Blergh.

moonrises · 17/05/2019 12:24

Apple juice
