Answer honestly.
I have mineral water on average 5 days a week, two glasses with dinner and dessert.
The other times coke/ lemonade. But still have mineral water later.

Always tap water. I love it! Always lived in a hard water area and it’s so nice, soft water tastes a bit weird.

I drink coffee in the morning and 1 tea mid afternoon.

Caspianberg · 04/03/2024 14:08

Sparkling water. We have an Aarke sparkling water machine so we aren’t lugging back bottles of anything. It’s just home sparkled tap water

fancyfrogs · 04/03/2024 14:09

Tap water or squash. If I'm out for food, probably a lemonade.

MammaTo · 04/03/2024 14:09

1-2 coffees of a morning, then water/squash through the day. Maybe a cup of tea before bed. Not going to lie I am terrible for drinking water and don’t drink enough.

Traumdeuter · 04/03/2024 14:12

Tap water, beer or wine. Don’t drink soft drinks. I like fruit juices but never with a meal, same with tea and coffee. Might occasionally have a cuppa with dinner if it’s comfort food or snack stuff, but not if I’m sitting at the dining table!

Aquarius1234 · 04/03/2024 14:14

I might have a hot chocolate with a bacon sandwich.

Tap water with lunch (unless it’s a special occasion). Tap water and often a glass of wine with dinner.

SgtJuneAckland · 04/03/2024 14:15

Almost always water with meals, DH will have a cup of tea with a meal which I find very strange. I drink coffee/tea/herbal tea at other times and a fizzy drink every now and then but I don't like hot or fizzy drinks with food.
The exception being late breakfast at the weekend, eggs etc I usually have tea/coffee or orange juice

Haha I'd find that a bit embarrassing in a restaurant.

If I'm at work, usually a coke zero at lunch, and then water or a juice at dinner at home.
If I'm at home for lunch, water, and then probably a lemonade or something at dinner.
In a restaurant, almost always soda water and lime.

MrsHughesPinny · 04/03/2024 14:19

I drink one coffee first thing, water all day, a Coke with my dinner, then water for the rest of the night. I’ll have a glass of wine or a beer two nights a week-ish, sometimes less.

SgtJuneAckland · 04/03/2024 14:20

@Aquarius1234 😂 he wouldn't order tea with food at a restaurant he just does it sometimes at home!

Idontjetwashthefucker · 04/03/2024 14:21

Diet Coke at work, or SF Vimto. Don't have a drink with my evening meal

WigglyVonWaggly · 04/03/2024 14:22

Cup of tea with lunch! Water with dinner, or perhaps wine. I only drink Coke as a mixer.

BrieAndChilli · 04/03/2024 14:23

lunch - either water or maybe a cup of tea if having a sandwich
dinner - normally water, occasionally a glass of wine maybe on a friday night. if out then normally an alcoholic drink but only go out for a meal every couple of months or so. Kids have water mainly but might have a soft drink if we have ordered a takeaway that also does drinks or have gone out for a meal - again only once every couple of months.

ThePoshUns · 04/03/2024 14:23

Tap water.
Wine with a meal on the weekend.
Don't drink any squash/ sugary drinks just don't like them.

Honeysucklerouge · 04/03/2024 14:24

Cold Tap water

RatatouillePie · 04/03/2024 14:24

With lunch and dinner at home I (and the kids) only have water.

Tap water (as plastic bottles are horrendous for the environment).

Nannyfannybanny · 04/03/2024 14:25

It's a myth you need 2lt of water a day. I don't eat lunch, late morning coffee,snack, just had an apricot yoghurt. Dinner is early,5pm latest. I can't drink with a meal. I have a hiatus hernia. After dinner large glass of tap water, must be ice cold. Don't like squash or coke.

Oganesson118 · 04/03/2024 14:28

When I’m at home, usually orange or blackcurrant squash. When I’m in the office sometimes the same but sometimes get a can of coke or something.

I will have a glass of wine with dinner a couple of times a week.

CranfordScones · 04/03/2024 14:28

With the meal - nothing.
May have a coffee afterwards.

coureur · 04/03/2024 14:29

Tap water during the week. Wine, cider or beer with dinner at the weekend.

ZZGirl · 04/03/2024 14:30

If I'm at home, nothing usually. I'll have a drink after unless I'm part way through a drink. Usually my daily can of coke zero.

If I'm out, lemonade or coke

Crumpleton · 04/03/2024 14:32

Kefir for breakfast.
Tap water with all other meals at home.
On the occasional meal out I'll order a Cola but also ask for a glass of tap water.

ODFOx · 04/03/2024 14:33

I drink warm water or herbal/green tea with breakfast and lunch, and wine then decaf coffee at dinner time most evenings.
If we're having Chinese or Japanese food I'll have tea with dinner too.
