Non Alcoholic beverages of Choice

[Darth Fanboy]

Ecto Cooler

[Karza]

Green tea (with lemon), apple juice (Diluted to hell and back. Undiluted, the stuff is way too sweet), tapwater.

Orange juice, chocolate milk and Sprite are ok too, but I don't drink them that often. I don't like coffee or energy drinks in general, but if I need a little caffeine boost I'll drink a Battery. That's pretty rare though, I think the last time I did that was during nightshifts at my summerjob.

[[R_H]]

Man you Americans love your soft drinks!

I drink mainly water, sometimes I drink cold chocolate milk. No soft drinks, at all.

Ecto Cooler

SHIT YEAH DAWG

Water is probably the thing I drink most. I'm also partial to tea, Earl Grey, hot. Not because of Star Trek, mind you, but because it is the best tea ever. A close second is sweetened iced tea, a la McDonald's, though I usually prefer a little less sugar than they most often use. Third (fourth?) would be the blue flavor of Powerade Zero, which, due to being sweetened with sucralose, not only has no calories but also doesn't taste like crap. I drink milk pretty often, usually 2%, sometimes 1%, and very rarely whole. I will not drink skim milk, as it's little more than milk-flavored water, and I don't mean that in a good way.

As far as energy drinks go, the only ones I really like are Bawls (Original, Cherry, and *ahem* G33k B33r) and Java Monster, specifically the Lo-Ball and Russian flavors, the latter being essentially a non-alcoholic White Russian that is hell of good.

Milk, I could drink that all day.
Ice water.
Coke, if it's nice and cold out and I'm clearing the driveway.

Yeah, that's annoying when people think you like Earl Grey because of Star Trek. I was drinking Earl Grey back in the mid 1970's, LONG before Jean-Luc came onto the scene.

Gah! McDonald's "sweet tea" is... is... vile. I usually mix it as 3/4 unsweetened to 1/4 "tea flavored HCFS".

[loomer]

I prefer Lady Grey to Earl Grey. It's a little more delicate and citrusy, at least to my tastebuds.

[Broomstick]

Well, I have a strong preference for black tea in general, which may well account for our differing tastes. I don't really look for "delicate" teas.

[The Spartan]

By far the most common thing I drink is either plain water or water flavored with Crystal Light.

I do drink soda, perhaps once a week, and will typically choose Dr. Pepper. Particularly if Dublin Dr. Pepper is available. Every now and again I'll go with root beer, just for a change.

I do drink tea, but given the climate here it's almost always iced tea and while I do like a little bit of sweetness in my tea I hate sweet tea. It's like drinking brown sugar-water. Also, I'm unusual for an American, and Texan in particular, that I'll also drink hot tea. In winter at any rate. It comes from having a Scottish mother. It's not as out-of-place as it once was, but if I do so in public places I still get the occasional odd look. Sometimes I'll have hot chocolate instead but that's only a couple times a year, at most, and usually around Christmas.

I also drink orange juice and chocolate skim milk every day for breakfast, or nearly so, but I think of them as food in liquid form more so than drinks per se.

I don't really drink coffee. The only way I've ever been able to make it palatable is to overload it with sugar and/or other things like milk or chocolate, or both and thus a calorie bomb (Starbucks I'm looking at you). The only other time I'll enjoy a coffee flavor is when I have the occasional dessert where there's a good tiramisu available, but, there again, I avoid those because of the calories. Plus that's not really a drink, is it?

[Cyborg Stan]

I'd drink most anything sweet and cold. However...

Orange Juice ranks high up there. I prefer it with pulp. I also like grapefruit juice.

I like Iced Tea, even though they pretty much bend the laws of physics just to get in more sugar into the things.

For fizzy stuff, I'd just about drink most anything non-diet, (although I getting myself used to the aftertaste.) Sprite, root beer, and ginger ale/beer are all up there. Currently experimenting how to make homemade ginger sodas, using questionable amounts of pineapples, other juices, dry ice and ginger root. Last time, I extracted the juice from a pound of ginger for two liters of soda.

[Dahak]

I prefer water/fruit juice mix, preferably with orange, apple of grapefruit juice.
Other than that, good espresso, an Earl Grey or fruit tea.
I also love Rivella (Swiss soft drink) and Calpico, I die for that stuff...

[2431940]

I like to drink water nice and cold out of my cooler. I work at a Culligan and bottle the water every day. Other than that I'll drink milk, tea , and any juice I can afford at the time. My old weakness was Coke but that comes in spurts.

[salm]

I usually drink tap water. When i´m hung over i like Mezzo Mix.

[Knife]

I'm a coffee snob. I like plain coffee, freshly ground beans, Capacino's with a hint of cinnamon, and other assorted drinks. I like diet Dr Pepper, not because of loosing weight or anything, I just don't like really sweet soda's. I rather like Earl Grey tea as well.

Tea is, without a shadow of a doubt, the King of the non-booze drink. Those who disagree are taken to the Tower and shat on by Baldrick the raven.

None of this black malarky, either. One bag of PG, add hot water, milk (whichever type you desire) and as little or as much sugar as you desire. And thus, you have the perfect cuppa!

[Broomstick]

Putting milk in tea ruins both beverages.

[His Divine Shadow]

Coffee reigns supreme (milk, no sugar). Aside from that sweet nectar I am favourable to the stuff that we make ourselves, like home made concentrate from berries picked by ourselves in the forest. Right now I am also enjoying this orange juice thats full of pulp, can be bought in lidl stores in europe, bought a whole case.

[phred]

Arizona Green Tea, Coke, chocolate milk. In that order. I have also been known to drink water when working outside.

The once summertime-only Livewire orange... shit was made permanent long ago now but not the GREAT, yes, FUCKING GREAT purple Mountain Dew (I wanna say it was "Pitch Black?") which was around ~fall 2004. The WoW game fuel mountain dew stuff is alright but I do really like Code Red.

Pitch Black was awesome. My friends and I went and raided all the grocery stores for it after it went off the market. Code Red was ok too.

[Civil War Man]

Pretty much just water, milk, or juice. Hardly ever drink sodas anymore.

[Isolder74]

Sunkist Orange Soda

[spaceviking]

I enjoy those lime italian sodas, oh and good old oj.

[Lusankya]

Putting milk in tea ruins both beverages.

Putting anything in tea ruins the tea. Once one of my friends put a quarter of a teaspoon of sugar in my tea. I nearly died.

I've been really keen on Chrysanthemum tea lately. I bought myself a thermos the other day, so now I don't even have to leave my room to fill up my cup - so convenient.


As an aside, I choose Diet Coke over regular Coke as a taste preference: I've drunk it ever since I was little (because that's what Daddy drank) and now I find that regular Coke leaves this horrible fuzzy feeling over my teeth that I can't stand.

[The Grim Squeaker]

Any freshly squeezed fruit juice (100% fruit, i'm not talking about store bought stuff), especially mangoes, coconut, apples and pomegranetes.
I have a sweet spotfor hot spiced cider with cinnamon and a tipple of wine/rum (damn you american ski shacks!) and hot chai tea. (or fruit tea).

It is of great regret and embarassment to me that I don't know how to brew a cup of proper English tea with milk to save my life. My attempts always come out as vile.

And to other's comments, well, yeah, of course I drink water the most, (tap water specifically, who bothers with mineral?). Doesn't mean that I wouldn't prefer it to be mango flavoured.

How on earth do you manage to fail? It goes: warm teapot (optional) -> put tea leaves in teapot -> add water -> do something else for a few minutes while it brews -> pour tea into cup -> add milk and sugar to taste (optional).
