      I just don’t get this. I wish I did. I do try to make myself drink water daily, but I could definitely drink more of it.

      I just can’t see how it’s anyone’s favorite. It’s like the most boring of any beverage. It’s like taking medicine, I do it because I have to, not because I want to.

        Everything else except water is literally dehydrating. Water quenches my thirst. I’ve had a massive water drinking daily habit for 30 years.

        It’s nothing special but it’s always there for you. It’s like the one that’s been waiting while you’ve chased after other beverages and had your heart broken, and then you realize it was the one all along. tl;dr you friendzoned water

    Water, closely followed by coffee. I adhere to a two cup limit, but by god do I enjoy those two cups.

    Water usually, but coffee is #2 and sometimes I’ll drink tea, wine, V8, or beer. Mimosas and bloody Marys can really hit spot sometimes and smoothies get an honorable mention as well.

    Water for sure #1

    Cafe con leche favorite caffeine drink. Diet coke distant second, but I like it.

    Cocktails, tie between margarita and paper plane I think.

    Wine? A dry Sauvignon Blanc.

    By order of preference:

    • water
    • lemonade, iced, sweetned, with a mint leaf
    • iced tea, home made
    • ginger ale, again, home made

    (stay with me, people, I’m just that annoying)

    • ginger beer, non-alcoholic, again, home made
    • a store brand energy drink and that drink alone; other drinks taste like disappointment and industrial solvents
    • sparkling water, chilled, but only if Pedras Salgadas; it’s slightly bitter and acidic
    • gin & tonic, in a chilled glass, for a late afternoon drink
    • moscaranja, a mixed drink with Moscatel wine and fresh orange juice, high ball glass, with ice
    • Pisang Ambon and orange juice, with ice, same presentation as above
    • sangria, and this implies red wine, not champagne, sparkling wine, rosé, etc. Just a nice strong red wine, poured over fresh fruit, a bit of orange juice, sugar and a bit of sparkling water. With ice.
    • chilled white wine. No ice. Watered wine tastes like dish water and sadness.
    • coke, over ice, with a slice of lemon
    • beer, if nothing else available and I’m walking home

    Jamaica with vanilla cream.

    I brew hibiscus flowers and chill it, then I add vanilla coffee creamer.

    Smooth and tasty, but it’s acidic, so yo gotta drink it promptly. It can get weird if you add cream and leave it in the fridge.🤢

    Sometimes I add vodka.

    Tea. Specifically, what’s known in other parts of the world as “English Breakfast (Black) Tea”. Because I’m British and grew up with it.

    Although I vary quite a bit from average. Mine’s usually decaffeinated with sweetener and soy milk for health reasons.
