What are you drinking right now? If you're not drinking anything, what was the last thing you drank?

This sounds like a question that could fill our minds with enjoyable thoughts and push out the negative ones.

I'm drinking decaf instant coffee with almond milk. It's my weekday morning drink. It's decaf because caffeine makes me shaky, but it still has a little bit to wake me up. It's instant because I'm all about shortcuts. I don't add sugar because that makes me sleepy and defeats the purpose of drinking it to wake me up. I use almond milk because I have a dairy allergy, but I need something to dilute the bitterness of black coffee. Tell me about your drink.

Hey LadyZen. I am just drinking water. I try to be hydrated all the time. I believe that it makes you feel awake, and has a positive effect on your mind and body.Btw I also use almond milk sometimes as I also have mild dairy allergy 😄

The rest of the day, I drink water too. But I have to flavor with a quarter cup of juice.

Love the scent of brewing coffee and the ambiance of certain cafes but never drank a cup of coffee in my life. I did however have a wee sip of espresso in England many moons ago. My tastebuds are the few in the world that dont gravitate towards coffee.

I know a handful of people that don't drink it. Then I know others that do black with turbo shots. I haven't gotten there yet.

I use to drink diet soda by the gallons when I stopped smoking 20 year ago.

in reply toLadyZen

Gasey drinks are my favourite, coke, diet coke. Off the booze though due to other issues.

I had throat cancer many years ago and the radiation treatment I received kill my saliva glands. I have dry mouth all the time, and I need a ton of water to eat food.

But....It beats the hell out of the alternative!!

Anyway, I drink water. Gallons and gallons of water. All day every day always water, water, water.

That's for sure.

Hi! I've been drinking half decaf/half regular coffee (caffeine sensitivity), with oat milk and brown sugar cinnamon syrup. About to go for a second soon!Also made a pot of ginger tea. I have it every morning and night to fight any inflammation. I love it. I keep it in a gallon container.

Ginger tea is my son's cure-all when he's sick.

Just had a glass of water. Possibly the best drink on this planet 😄

I'm too diva for plain water. So I mix a bit of juice in mine.

Water, water other times tea🫖

Water seems to be a popular drink of choice.

I had to google sugar free Tango. It's interesting to see drinks in other countries.

I don't drink that one often, but I vaguely remember liking the orange flavor.

in reply toLadyZen

I think I spelled it wrong too. Yes that's what I am drinking is orange.

Spring water, seemingly gallons of it! Cup of Americano, touch of milk, highlight of my day!🤗I was around at my sister's on Sunday, she gave me a nescafe instant, it tasted awful ! She lives about 5 mts walk from me, but she never filters the water, I always filter all my water for drinks or cooking, the local area put fluoride into it, back in the 70's, terrible, the amount of mould around the bathroom, terrible, even found not to water my plants and trees with a garden hose, put it into a watering can/barrel for a day or two, then water from there! My cherry tree leaves were all shrivelled up last year, that was the problem, thought they had some sort of blight?🥴My coffee is actually complemented on, ok!, out of a capsule machine, but FILTERED water!👍

I can't drink water from tap unless it's in my area. Anywhere else in the country tastes strange to me.

Understandable. Water picks up the taste of the minerals in the rocks it filters through. I came from an alkaline (chalk ) area, and I now live in a granite area, so the taste is different. I prefer it though.

They should do some public surveys of local tap water, just to see to see what particular chemicals are in it, how those might affect our general health?🤮😵😷🤢🥺🤗

I love the flavor and smell of dark roast coffee and have 1 cup with powdered cream first thing in the morning, followed by a cup or tow of decaf espresso roast with powdered cream. I like it hot and the powder keeps it hot but adds some flavor.

later today, since it's the middle of the week i'm planning on having a pumpkin ale beer, they are in season now and so good. I live in the northwest of the US and there are tons of small breweries in the area with great beers.
