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. 'Tis the best.

Also wine within reason and the odd bottle of lager with curry.

WatchingTheWheels85 · 17/05/2019 13:40

Water, but it's all I ever drink.

Rhubardandcustard · 17/05/2019 13:53

Water. Unless it’s Sunday roast then I’ll treat myself to a lemonade ☺️

Montsti · 17/05/2019 13:59

Wine and water (in different glasses😜)

Strugglingtodomybest · 17/05/2019 14:04

Water or weak squash at home, diet coke or wine when out.

Bibidy · 17/05/2019 14:06

I rarely have alcohol at dinner as I feel like it's a waste!

I usually have squash or coke.

LordBuckley · 17/05/2019 14:11

Water.

Never juice or sweet drinks because they clash with savoury food IMO.

MadisonAvenue · 17/05/2019 14:13

Nothing. We have a cuppa afterwards though, once the dishwasher has been loaded and the kitchen tidied.

ChampionThreadKiller · 17/05/2019 14:48

Usually tap water but if we have kedgeree, I have to have a cup of tea. Don’t know why, it’s just the law! 🤷🏻‍♀️

Pk37 · 17/05/2019 14:53

Water

formerbabe · 17/05/2019 14:59

Squash...I used to drink juice but me and Mr formerbabe can both drink a pint of orange juice each with our dinner and it was adding quite a bit to our weekly shop plus it's a lot of extra calories.

I always have to have water or a soft drink with a meal - I'll have a glass of wine too sometimes, but it doesn't quench my thirst very well!

Bwekfusth · 17/05/2019 15:15

Water, Coke, or squash. Wine is a separate thing, I can't drink wine while eating! Just before and after Blush

RezCowgirl · 17/05/2019 15:20

Water unless its a fry up then I'll have a mug of tea.

ShatnersWig · 17/05/2019 15:20

Cup of tea or a diet Coke. Glass of wine if it's a Saturday night and I've made a bit more effort with the cooking

flameycakes · 17/05/2019 15:54

Council pop with ice and lemon

howwudufeel · 17/05/2019 15:57

I call it corporation pop flameycakes Smile

riverislands · 17/05/2019 16:03

Water

TheFrenchLieutenantsMonkey · 17/05/2019 16:06

Tonic Water as its what I drink mostly through the rest of the day. I drink 1-2 litres of tonic as I get lots of horrible cramp and the quinine stops it getting so bad.
Saturday Sausage, bacon and egg I'll have a cup.of tea.
Out for a meal...Blackcurrant and soda.

wichitalinemanswoman · 17/05/2019 16:07

Nothing

ohtheholidays · 17/05/2019 16:09

Squash,water plain or with fresh mint or lemon in it,fruit and veggie juice,wine,lager,a cocktail or mocktail.It changes all the time.

It just depends on what I fancy at the time.

lunicorn · 17/05/2019 16:10

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.

ooooohbetty · 17/05/2019 16:14

@lunicorn try some again. Much nicer than it was in the 70's.

InsertFunnyUsername · 17/05/2019 16:16

Only water, my body is a temple.

Normally coca cola

Pushing30 · 17/05/2019 16:19

Water always. Nothing else really quenches my thirst!
