Coffee, tea and water in the day. G&T and any wine at night!

ChiefAdjusterOfRubensShorts · 08/11/2022 22:14

Vimto (hot or cold), strong coffee or Rum and Diet Coke.

Earl grey tea or wine or gin, but I’m picky on the type of gin and type of tonic. So tea is a safer option in most cases

What kind of gin and what kind of tonic- I feel I need a change!

mondaytosunday · 08/11/2022 22:16

English breakfast tea, lattes, lime Diet Coke, Cabernet Sauvignon.

TabithaSally · 08/11/2022 22:17

Cherry pepsi max. I drink bucketloads.

I know I should stop or cut down but hey, I don't drink alcohol so 🤷

ncforyetanotherone · 08/11/2022 22:17

Coffee 😍

Wineat5isfine · 08/11/2022 22:20

Earl grey tea - favourite
very weak orange squash with sparkling water
whisky with crabbies ginger ale
champagne
red wine

in that order!

Blueberrycreampie · 08/11/2022 22:22

Depends really, tonight I had a glass of Malbec as I was out with friends.

Confusedmeanderings · 08/11/2022 22:23

Instant coffee or latte, red wine, whisky, occasionally tea. I've just had to go dairy free though; I've tried oat milk for coffee and that was OK, red wine and whisky not a problem, but I don't like the oat milk in tea. I thought I might switch to a herbal or fruit tea but I always find that they smell lovely and taste underwhelming. So does anyone have any recommendations?

Ultravox · 08/11/2022 22:31

Jasmine tea non stop all morning
Double espresso after lunch
Pukka herbal tea in the evening

If I’m having alcohol it would depend on the circs but favs would be:

margarita
espresso martini
gin & tonic with slice of pink grapefruit
cava / champagne
dry white wine
medium bodied red wine
rum & coke
speyside whisky

not all in the one night though!

Littleguggi · 08/11/2022 22:31

Forgot to mention my morning cup of green tea

strawberrytilda · 08/11/2022 22:33

Daily: lots of coffee, lots of water
Sometimes: herbal tea, hot chocolate in the velvetiser

The odd times I go out: red wine, Prosecco, g and t

Yorkshire tea and Estrella beer

Inextremis · 09/11/2022 20:59

Black coffee (instant) first thing in the morning
Palanquin spiced chai after lunch
Yorkshire Toast & Jam tea in the afternoon
'Proper' coffee after dinner (moka pot)
Peated whiskies (Connemara is a favourite)
Vodka and Diet Cola (preferably Tesco, not the Real Thing, it's more gingery)
A gewurztraminer or riesling
A valpolicella or Nero d'Avola

But most of the time, it's plain water!

Coffee, sparkling water, wine and Diet Coke sometimes.

I’m cutting back on the wine coffee and Diet Coke and I’ve found Sparkling water with a bit of lemon squash makes a slightly less sweet lemonade so now I’m drinking several glasses of that every day as a replacement and thoroughly enjoying it.

littlepeas · 09/11/2022 21:05

Coffee
Earl Grey
Sparkling water
Beer (Bud or Estrella - Cobra with curry)

Very rare I drink anything other than the above.

Morning drink- Cortado or skinny flat white.
I mainly drink water the rest of the time.
Sometimes a Diet Coke
Twinings everyday tea, usually after dinner with some biscuits and chocolate.

If I’m having alcohol my first choice is champagne, but not always appropriate so I’ll have a gin (Monkey 47 or Hendricks) with tonic. Or a vodka Diet Coke.

I haven’t had squash since I was a teenager, feel like I need to buy some Ribena to see if I still like it!
