Today I've had 2 cans of diet coke and 4 cups of tea. I need to break the caffeine habit! What do healthy people drink when they're thirsty during the day? The answer's water isn't it...

Yes. Water Wink

namechangerbat · 09/01/2012 21:45

Or milk actually, I drink at least 1 glass of skimmed milk a day.

TheresAHuppoInMyHouse · 09/01/2012 21:46

Redbush tea is lovely if you're a teadrinker but want to ditch the caffeine. Yum.

moondog · 09/01/2012 21:47

Lime & Soda is great.
Either fresh or with Roses.
Tonic water, Angostura Bitters and lemon good too.

Weak squash. Green tea with ginger.

Herbal teas (depends on time of day, currently drinking lavender and camomile, rooibush earlier with dinner and various others at other times of the day), decaffeinated early grey tea, lemon squash, fruit juices (oj and cranberry my favourite), smoothies, water, milk.

MoaningMinnieWhingesAgain · 09/01/2012 21:48

Tea. All the time. Occasional Diet Coke if I am too thirsty for tea to cool down Love caffeine.

UsedToBikeAndRunAndSki · 09/01/2012 21:49

Lime and soda, but it does have to be Roses
I got very into Tonic and Grapefruit juice when I was pg
Ribena and soda too
Mint tea

ChippingInLovesEasterEggs · 09/01/2012 21:51

Water - very very cold water. Sometimes carbonated for a treat . I drink water because I like it, not because it's good for me!!

Gumby · 09/01/2012 21:52

Coffee and water

If hungover lemonade

I sometimes try to drink fruit juice but can't drink much of it , not sure why

When I was young it was always Ribena or the sainsburys equivalent should have stuck to that instead of getting addicted to wine

CrispLeCrisp · 09/01/2012 21:54

Elderflower cordial with sparkling water

Hulababy · 09/01/2012 21:55

Tea and diet coke, normally caffine free

Florin · 09/01/2012 21:56

Fizzy water with a wedge of lime in it, love the taste and so I end up drinking lots. I am pregnant with first dc so have tried lots of different soft drinks. For the evening ame is nice -the peach and something one.

Ginger beer. Had a coke addiction and have managed to overcome it I think.

ScienceGeekMum · 09/01/2012 21:59

Usually squash. If I'm feeling in the mood for fizzy, I make squash with carbonated water. We have at least 8 different flavours of squash on the go all the time.

Mspontipine · 09/01/2012 22:02

I love a can of fizzy Vimto :)
Water's a fave too. Keep a few bottles in fridge if tap's not your thing. I'm quite a tap fan - round here it has a rather nice clean bleachy smell :)
Also like Shloer types on special occassions when all else are quaffing wine.

GlitterKitty · 09/01/2012 22:03

Roses lime juice with fizzy water & crushed ice.

nomoreminibreaks · 09/01/2012 22:16

Half fruit juice, half water, in a pint glass. It gives me stomach ache otherwise.

ScienceGeekMum · 09/01/2012 22:21

Oh and in pubs I like to have a j2o in a pint glass topped up with soda water (if I'm feeling fat) or lemonade (if I need sugar!). It's much nicer than j2o (or equivalent) on its own which can be too sickly sweet.

I invented this by the way and it's named after me in rl at my local Grin

racingheart · 09/01/2012 22:35

Water, herbal tea, diet ginger beer, lime and soda, vimto and soda, V8, OJ mixed with sparkling water, elderflower cordial is lovely too.

BCBG · 09/01/2012 22:39

Try cloudy apple juice half and half with ginger ale. It is fab Smile

Tolalola · 09/01/2012 22:40

Water, milk or elderflower

GeorgeEliot · 10/01/2012 21:32

Water, herbal tea (peppermint or fennel are best) or elderflower
