What is your regular drink of choice?

Post by kevin04 »

What do you drink most of all when at home or out and about?

Do you drink tea, coffee or soft drinks regularly? Do you need coffee to even get started in the morning, or to give you a kick? Or have you stopped, or never drank caffeine in your life?

I prefer the taste of tea to coffee, but I drink coffee occasionally. I don't need it when I wake up, or to get the day going, but I'll have a coffee now and again at work, or even at home - a bag will do me 3-4 months, if not longer. I think tea tastes a lot better than coffee, and I'll drink tea for 'fun' whilst coffee is more for a change, or being social.

Weirdly I don't like coffee with milk, I only drink it black ; whilst I don't like black tea, but I need milk in it, to enjoy tea. I don't add sweetener or sugar. I buy digestives, rich tea or usually the Euroshopper equivalent now and again, but often I'll drink them without a snack, I don't have a biscuit tin, maybe that's the next step in early-middle age? Occasionally I'll get a cake from the bakery to enjoy with it.

I have gone through periods in my life of drinking Pepsi Max, Coke Zero, the Irn Bru diet version etc. I'd drink the full fat version too, but more seldom. At one point I was probably drinking far too much of it, but I now try to limit it to 2-3 cans a week. I don't particularly like it with a meal at home, I'd rather drink water, but tend to drink a soft drink on its own or with fast food.

I drink a lot of water. I might even drink too much (humble brag) but I got a litre drinking bottle a few years ago as a gift, and probably drink 2-3 litres a day, maybe even more sometime, usually at work, or in the house and often it'll take two/three gulps to neck a pint of water.

Anyhoos, what's the talkFORUMER'S daily drink routine like?

Booze wise - I love whisky. The last few years I'll try new ones, and I like everything pretty much e.g Islay, peat, softer stuff. I'm sucker for the ones in Gaelic. I've been meaning to buy a new Irish one? Any you recommend? I had Connemara once (thought it was nice, and it was fairly cheap - about 25 Euros, IIR).

I was hoping to get a new Irish one in Belfast airport last year, but was fairly disappointing their Irish section - just the usual really - or a few super expensive ones.

Water (I highly recommend the Chilly bottles) and rooibos tea. Coffee during the morning.

Mate, if you eat Rich tea biscuits you are well past middle age and into your dotage as they are the biscuit crime of the century. Ha...they were developed in Yorkshire, well that explains their miserly nature cos they certainly aint "Rich".

Anybody over thirty shouldn't be drinking pop unless in a mixer, dems the rules.

Me? I drink everything.
