I'm on the wagon (ish) so just having a yet another bloody lovely cup of tea smile

Used to be a lovely chilled dry white wine but one has to make sacrifices in search of the body beautiful!

A glass of very nice dry white that I couldn’t have yesterday as we didn’t get home until 11pm. Or that’s my excuse grin.

And so to bed with a large glass of water .....

Had a glass of Amontillado sherry while I watched Eggheads, and then a nice glass of rose with dinner.

Mint tea, but really, really fancied an ice cold martini, but cant have one so thats it.

DanniRae Mon 05-Aug-19 22:22:10

My daughter just made me a nice mug of tea smile

You're all so good!
I have a glass of red most nights. I try to miss two nights each week.

I had a cup of decaff tea an hour ago, just now just a drink of water.

However, that means I will be hopping out of bed to go to the loo in the middle of the night!

Not long finished some Pepsimax, I’m about to put the kettle on and have a cup of Whittards Mango and Passionfruit tea before going to bed. It’s a cup of sugar when you read the ingredients, but I’ve bought it (along with a couple of others) and I’ll drink it. May not buy again though. Cabbie21 if you hold your finger on the letter, a choice of accents comes up. I’m on my IPad too - pressé!

Me too Minniemoo blackcurrant Ribena no added sugar. I can't drink fizzy pop. When I used to drink it and I don't know why, I felt like I'd been on the booze all night and dehydrated.
I can't drink tea or coffee, it gives me acid.
I love my mug of cocoa in the morning with my bowl of cocoa-pops then it's ribena for the rest of the day.
I'm not drinking anything at the mo but just eaten four dark chocolate digestive biscuits. grin

Pink gin and tonic. Rare treat but I’ve had a really,really, really gut wrenching week.

Good morning everyone; now drinking the first cup of black coffee!

gillybob Tue 06-Aug-19 07:57:00

Nice cuppa tea with a splash of milk. Has to be Yorkshire though smile

sodapop Tue 06-Aug-19 08:15:58

Just had my one cup of coffee for the day. Friends here for lunch so the wine will be flowing, I suffer for my friends grin

gillybob Tue 06-Aug-19 08:17:23

Oh I feel your pain Sodapop grin

GrannyGravy13 Tue 06-Aug-19 08:40:39

Mr.Gravy has just brought me a cup of tea in bed (de-caff).

ginny Tue 06-Aug-19 08:51:24

Big mug of Yorkshire tea.

Craftycat Tue 06-Aug-19 10:30:02

Right now a lovely frothy coffee from our machine but tonight some wine. We belong to a wine club so not sure what yet. Red or white. A nice G&T goes down well too
Life is too short so enjoy it.

NotSpaghetti Tue 06-Aug-19 10:36:33

I know it's still morning but I'm enjoying "afternoon blend" tea.

wildswan16 Tue 06-Aug-19 10:37:40

Adaptogen tea - I like it cool, lovely and refreshing.

Davida1968 Tue 06-Aug-19 10:40:19

A big mug of M&S decaff instant coffee. It's the best (instant) decaff I've found, after trying many. And it's Fair trade.

nonnasusie Tue 06-Aug-19 10:45:37

A glass of a rehydration drink as it's so hot here but also drink plenty of water as well. Must admit to a couple of glasses of homemade wine last night after all the work making passata!

Juliet27 Tue 06-Aug-19 10:50:25

Ruby...I have a supply of those sachets too!

Tigertooth Tue 06-Aug-19 10:51:02

Right now, tea! But sons GF bought me a lovely bottle of lavender Gin which I have with diet lemonade, ice and some sliced fresh strawberries. Delish!

glammanana Tue 06-Aug-19 10:56:34

On my first cup of tea of the day brew my OH keeps me well topped up during the day while he is in and out of the kitchen he is a good lad.
After dinner when watching TV or sitting in the garden I will enjoy a Carlos1 brandy and coke in a long glass,my favourite.

EllanVannin Tue 06-Aug-19 11:03:14

Going to make a coffee. Tea was before 8, then a hot chocolate with my crumpets at 09.30.
Water during the day to keep the kidneys ticking over. Coffee on and off throughout the day.
Squeezed orange at lunchtime.
