First thing in the morning i drink half a pint of very cold water.
Then cups of tea through the day up until 3pm,then it`s red wine from 6/7pm.
I cant drink coffee,it makes me feel ill due to the smell of it.

canadiangran although ginger beer is fermented, it’s not classed as an alcoholic drink. Ginger ale is carbonated, but ginger beer gets its fizz from the fermentation process. You can make it yourself from yeast and ginger. It’s a lovely refreshing summer drink.

I'm so looking forward to that first very chilled white wine and soda, in the garden, in the sun. That will be my new favourite.
Usual tipples - red wine or Gin and tonic.

When you say ginger beer, is it alcoholic? I have ginger ale in the evening as a soft drink.

Coffee from pods, usually around 3 a day.
Water
Ginger ale
Cider if I am having alcohol
Very rarely wine, but I like a Pinot noir

2 mugs of tea in the morning , water all day and in the evening a dash of elderberry syrup in a glass of water

Big mug of coffee first thing, any brand but Nescafe.

Cold daytime drink in the summer is tonic water with lime juice. Nice and sharp to refresh the senses.

In the winter, more coffee.

Evenings is the occasional vodka and tonic, or a glass of milk.

Irn Bru
Harris Gin
Glenmorangie

2 mugs of hot lava Java bean to cup coffee am every morning.

Water throughout day, sometimes with a very small quantity of fruit juice added.

Assam loose leaf tea in the afternoon with splash of milk.

Pelligrino sparkling water 3 days Mon - Wed evenings.

Ginger tea every night of the week in bed.

Thursday 1 beer

Friday - Sunday (it gets messy from now on in) espresso martini, porn star cocktail or cava, then wine depending on the food we are having (Rioja, Bordeaux, Chablis, White burgundy, typically), sometimes a second bottle, then maybe Armagnac or vodka to follow.

Ale (no idea why) during rugby matches.

Strong tea, a dash of milk and a teensy bit of sugar [I cannot give it up completely]. I have 2 in the morning and one after lunch. Oooh and another after my Nanna Nap in the afternoon!
My only over beverages are a glass of cold cider in the summer and copious amounts of wine.

Elusivebutterfly Thu 25-Mar-21 20:42:20

Lots of milky weak tea, water, occcasional weak coffee, evening glass of light red wine.
I don't drink fizzy drinks as they give me indigestion.

maydonoz Thu 25-Mar-21 20:26:39

Mine's easy, tea, tea and more tea, coffee mid morning and mid afternoon.
We have the occasional hot chocolate drink at bedtime and a bottle of red wine with Sunday lunch on special occasions. Don't seem to drink as much alcohol as in the"old days"

For most of the day, a really good quality Assam tea and late in the evening a mug of Whittards hot chocolate in my "special" mug. I'm now wishing it was evening already!

kittypaws49 Thu 25-Mar-21 17:58:14

2 mugs of strongish tea first thing. Mid-morning I or 2 cups of coffee, either Lavazza decaf or Nescafe Gold Blend decaf if I'm in a hurry. Some days a glass of wine with lunch, otherwise plain water. Late afternoon a cup of tea, decaf. Before bed, half a glass of milk. Never touch fizzy drinks. Oh, and sometimes have a glass of beer at lunchtime instead of the wine. For a change ! And in hot weather several glasses of water throughout the day.

GrammarGrandma Thu 25-Mar-21 17:28:16

Warm water with lemon and tea at breakfast time. A nice strong coffee mid morning. Then tea or water for the rest of the day. Mint tea in the evening. 1 can of Diet Coke per week.
