Water, tea, red wine.

motleymop · 09/11/2022 21:39

@ARoastPotato do not buy Ribena - it is vile!! A mere shadow of its former self. They put artificial sweeteners in it now.

offyoufucketyfuck · 09/11/2022 21:44

Coffee, earl grey, chamomile, wine (on a weekend ) and of course water throughout the day

ARoastPotato · 09/11/2022 21:51

@motleymop thanks for the heads up, how disappointing! Sainsburys sells rocks squash so I’ll give that a go instead!

Yes, Rocks is definitely the best option now!

chosenone · 09/11/2022 21:55

Tea. Loads throughout the day. An Appletise or J20 as a soft drink, red wine, lager, the old gin and ginger ale.

dizzydizzydizzy · 09/11/2022 21:55

Coffee, water, tea, Prosecco. A cocktail if I'm celebrating or on holiday.

BrightBlueFlamingo · 09/11/2022 21:58

Coffee, by the bucket load!🙈
Wine (white or sometimes rose)
Gin and tonic
Prosecco

gingercat02 · 09/11/2022 22:02

Loafbeginsat60 · 09/11/2022 22:03

@motleymop @ARoastPotato

Pssst..

Can I interest you in a bottle of the proper stuff? The sugar version! No artificial sweeteners!

Sorry that's really cruel of me. I'm not selling these babies. I may have bought quite a few bottles when I realised they were going to change to artificial sweetners.

Mine! All mine!!!!!

Wanders off laughing manically with a big glass of Ribena in hand.

What's your go to drink ?

@Boiledbeetle brilliant!! That has really brought a smile to my face 😄
Can't believe you still have some left - how many bottles did you buy??!!

Summertimesunshineandfizz · 08/11/2022 21:32

Can’t beat a classic Margarita, though I’d never refuse champagne (or Prosecco or cava…)

Love Margz! Nice white or rose wine. Champagne.

Mostly, however it's tea, coffee, tap water, AF beer, fizzy water, herbal tea.

Can I ask about Yorkshire Tea?

Do you guys who drink it live in, or come from, Yorkshire. Or is it popular nationwide? 🤷😚

ARoastPotato · 09/11/2022 22:18

@motleymop @Boiledbeetle wow that is quite some stash! I feel like I’ve missed out now, I’ll never get to recreate my childhood drink. Why did they change the recipe?! Seems so unnecessary!

@SweetSenorita my parents drink Yorkshire tea, live in London, no affiliation to Yorkshire at all!

weegiemum · 09/11/2022 22:21

Water, sparkling by choice (have a soda stream)
Diet Coke
Coffee
Sauvignon Blanc

Boiledbeetle · 09/11/2022 22:25

@motleymop I may have bought about 13 of them, or was it 15?
@ARoastPotato it was when the sugar tax came in and the bastards instead of letting people choose wether to pay the sugar tax or not took the decision for us and got rid of the sugar version.

I'm slowly working my way through my stash. I'm hoping by the time i get to the last bottle Ribena will have seen the light and released a sugar version.😎

It's available nation wide. But be warned once you've drunk a box you'll never go back to the likes of pg tips ever again.

Don't li ve in Yorkshire, never lived in Yorkshire but drink about 20 cups of the bloody stuff a day. I'm addicted!

TippledPink · 09/11/2022 22:30

Sainsburys lemon and lime sparkling water x 2 litres a day (can't drink plain water), lime and mint cordial with soda water, Pepsi max.

Musti · 09/11/2022 22:36

A lot of water. 2 freshly ground and freshly brewed coffees with plant milk. Prosecco. Diet Coke.

When I am cutting down on drinking alcohol have herbal teas and apple or cranberry juice.

Tea, About 4 a day
Tap water
Bottled water if out at work
Kombuch peach or raspberry lemonade flavour
