    Question Beverages of choice?

    coffee - one cup in the morning
    water - during the day
    cola - almost never
    glass of port - in the evening after dinner
    gin n' tonic - on those rare evenings out
    dark beer - when it is time to drink beer
    light beer - never never never never
    Southern Comfort - race weekends with my bros.

    Recent stomach troubles led to my doctor recommending that I give up caffeine, so these are currently in flux:

    morning: Nesquik now that I can't have coffee (Decaf? Ugh!)

    work day & w/most meals: Canada Dry Ginger Ale

    beer: rotating favorites include Labatt's, Anchor Steam, Steinlager, Tecate, and various microbrews...of the "big 3" (like when I go to a concert or race and have little if any choice), I always hope for Coors.

    hard liquor: not to much of it these days...a little Captain Morgan in my world famous Egg Nog Bombs around the holidays, and there's still nothing on a warm evening like some Wild Turkey 101 on the rocks. Yeah, an IRL fan should probably drink Jim Beam instead, but some things can't be compromised.

    ...and, Donald Duck Orange Juice!

    Coffee...until 2 PM. Espresso when necessary. My cardiologist doesn't approve, but my cardiologist isn't monitoring me 24 hours a day like the government does.
    Water...all day, every day. I carry a Nalgene around with me everywhere.
    Soda...rarely.
    Beer...Watney's when I can get it, Leinie's when I can't, Stroh's or (gasp!) Busch when I just absolutely can't do without.
    Liquor...local product only. I do live in Tennessee, after all. I may not have Long's Donuts or have a reliable source for Tenderloins, but I do have Keg County Kool-Aid...
    Milk...early and often, but especially in May...

    Early Morning: Coffee
    Mid Morning: Coffee
    Early Afternoon: Coffee
    Mid-Afternoon: Coffee or Diet Pepsi
    Evening: Water, and lots of it! Or Red Bull if I'm going out

    Alcohol: Any beer that's not light. Big time microbrew lover. My wife drinks vodka, makes me want to hurl. Strangely, she never does.
    I'll quit while I'm ahead.

    Morning - an occcational glass of milk

    At Work from 8:30 - 4:00 - Iced Tea, around 3-5 glasses.

    Home supper and evening - Iced Tea, two more glasses

    Maybe 2-3 times a week - a bottle or two of Killians Irish Red or Lienunkeugel Red.

    Maybe twice a month - Coca Cola or cream soda

    Not since 2002. - Coffee makes me too hyper. Even decaff effects me some.

    Other alcohol - I like the hard stuff but I just never drink it anymore. I had to order a whiskey sour new years eve about six years ago just to prove to my wife I will still drink the stuff.

    Coffee in the morning (breakfast at Bob Evans most days)

    Pepsi all day- Three 24 oz'ers is the norm

    Beer lover but only drink when out for the evening or when company comes over. Leinenkugel's Lager my all-time favorite. Tough to get here at times. If not available then Killian's will do nicely.

    Morning - OJ

    Lunch - Diet Dr. Pepper

    Water thru the day

    Dinner - Beer - Either Yuengling Premium, Pilsner Urquell or Guinness. Used to really love the micros, but too many started tasting the same. Didn't mind when most went under in the late 90's as the best of the best stuck around. Mostly enjoying the traditional lagers and ales from PA such as Yuengling, Straub, Stoney's, etc.

    Anyone in or around the MD area should check out Frederick Brewing Co. They brew Blue Ridge and Wild Goose beers. One of the better micros and they give a great brewery tour.

    Tabasco sauce. Straight from the bottle. Oh, about 10 times a day.

    Water. An occasional Coke or lemonade at a festive event, but other than that, water's the only thing I drink any more; and I have never felt better.

    First thing - iced sweet tea, I can't get going without it.
    Through the day - water
    Three or four times a week - Coke or Pepsi, occasionally a cherry 7-Up.
    Alcohol - only when dining out, I love a margarita

    So this seems an appropriate place to ask this question, did Pepsi discontinue the lemon flavored Pepsi Twist? I really liked it & now can't find it (I know Twist is still available in Diet but I would rather go days without pop than drink diet).

    start of the day: 32oz iced coffee with half and half.

    all day long: plain old regular water or Sparkling mineral water with fruit essence.

    Mid day- 32 oz iced coffe with half and half or venti starbucks iced sugar free vanilla latte with whole milk.

    More water...

    Alcohol: I like a nice dark beer (especially the aforementioned Yuengling Black and Tan), but if I'm gonna have more than one or two I stick with miller light.

    Every now and again a REALLY SPICY Bloody Mary, with dill pickle juice if I can get it.

    Sometimes after dinner drink, white or black russian (how egalatarian is that?).

    A nice premium Marg on the rocks is good too.

    Right now: Crystal Geyser Natural orange flavored sparkling mineral water, I may switch to Wild Berry for the next one.

    5 or 6 am-coffee #1

    15 minutes later coffee #2

    coffee # 3 during the ride to work

    coffee # 4 at work

    coffee #5 when I leave the office around 9:30ish

    32 oz diet Coke with just a little shot of lemon and a quick shot of regular Coke just for flavor in mid afternoon.

    Molson Ice St Pauli Girl or yuengling is always in the fridge. G&T in the summer Rum & Coke in the Winter.

    Try to stay somewhat in shape & burn off the beer by playing ice hockey every Thursday and Sunday morning

    Daily
    1 cup coffee
    96-120 oz of water
    2 glasses of red wine(preferably Cab)

    Special occasions
    Glenfiddich single malt scotch

    Beer of choice
    What can I say, I like the good old fashioned Hielemans Old Style.

    Maxwell House all morning until about noon. Coke and/or Dr. Pepper the rest of the day into the night, usually about 3 20 ouncers. If I'm going to drink, like at a special occasion or something, then I'd perfer PBR or Bud. And for those social things that I need to be on good behavior for the family then I like Jadot Pinot Noir.

    Half caff in the morning, then a big glass of milk.

    Many glasses of water through the day.

    Diet Rite with lunch.

    "Diet beer" with dinner. On the occasion of regular beer, prefer PBR. Sometimes some wine, not very often.

    Try not to hurt myself lifting weights 3 times a week, hit the trail for a few miles on the off days. May have finally beaten tobacco for good.

    Still hanging in at 40 something.
