  • Out? Water, sometimes coffee (when it's decent)
  • Home? Tea, coffee, and water.

I quit drinking soda entirely. Alcohol too, but that was many, many years ago... back when I was an alcoholic.

Well done for getting through that, it's a really powerful drug

Bartenders scatter when they see you coming.

I like your style

Water, unless it's a restaurant with some delicious drink from whatever culture the food is from (Thai iced tea, mango lassi, boba tea - that kinda thing) in which case, that.

[–] m4xie@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago

Water, cappuccino, NA beer (I no longer drink).

If I go to a dinner style place for brunch, I like to get a milkshake. At this one place, I get them to add a shot of espresso.

Coffee, water, soda. The later at night, the more likely I am to have coffee. One of the many wonders of ADHD: getting mellow or sleepy from stimulants.

Daytime: Barrys Gold tea. Pub: Smithwicks or Newcastle.

[–] Certainnarrator3@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

If I'm having food, I drink water. But if I'm hanging out with people I'll have coffee or beer.

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

usually water, but a varied flight of microbrews never hurts.

[–] lvxferre@mander.xyz 2 points 2 months ago

It depends mostly on my mood, but:

  • pingado (a small glass of coffee with a drop of milk) - I just need my caffeine fix
  • machiato - the above, but I'm treating myself
  • orange juice - I'm lunching, and I'd rather not have alcohol
  • chilled yerba mate tea - I'm lunching, I'd rather not have alcohol, and did I mention my caffeine fix?
  • beer - I'm lunching, I don't mind some alcohol; OR I'm drinking with my friends
  • wine - I'm drinking with very specific friends who also enjoy chugging cheap wine
  • campari - I don't care about whatever you guys are drinking, I want my bitters; or, I'm in the bar alone writing

In my uni times I also drunk a lot of tubão (cheap spirit + soda, mixed in the soda bottle).

[–] HollowNaught@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

If I'm eating, usually just water

My choice of wine is a sparkling white, if it's available and doesn't clash with the food

[–] orvorn@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 months ago

Water, black coffee, or whiskey rocks. Sometimes all three.

[–] Albbi@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago

Went to a comedy club last night and had a black Russian. Haven't had one in a long time and I drink alcohol about once every 2 months.

Big fan of negronis and other bitter herbal liqueours

[–] Curious_Canid@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago

Usually water, but sometimes root beer. A lot of local microbreweries make their own and most of them are wonderful.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

After not liking wine (other than iced wine), I had some extra after making some French onion soup and figured I might as well drink it and turns out I like it now. And I've lost my taste for sweet wines. I mean, it still tastes good but I just end up with a headache after one or two glasses from trying a tawny port. It'll probably take some experimentation to find the sweet spot (heh or not so sweet spot I guess).

It's kinda annoying with all the variety, I have a feeling I won't ever get to the point of just being able to buy one kind, so each trip to the store might be a bit of a selection dillema.

Daytime: caramel latte with oat milk and an extra shot of espresso

Evening: Dark and Stormy (dark rum and ginger beer with a lime slice)

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 2 points 2 months ago

Lime makes ginger next level, good call

[–] Bldck@beehaw.org 1 points 2 months ago

Coffee: cortado or flat white

Dinner: water

Bar or socializing: soda and lime

[–] nevermind@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

Black Americano/peppermint tea/diet Irn-Bru.

[–] iamericandre@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Shot and a beer. Preferably tullamore dew and a Narragansett

[–] Oberyn@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Usually some kinda (juice|soda)

[–] gazter@aussie.zone 1 points 2 months ago

If I haven't had my daily coffee yet, then a cafe latte. If it's a decent coffee place (barista with fashionably tight jeans, arm tattoos, possibly wearing a Ramones shirt) I'll go for a piccolo. If it's a really good coffee place (barista with waxed moustache and/or ironic neck tattoos) then I'll get a macchiato.

For an evening occasion, I'll generally have a non-alcoholic cider, while debating with people around me whether that's just the same as sparkling apple juice.

[–] Opinionhaver@feddit.uk 1 points 2 months ago

Filter coffee or Americano. If you mean alcohol drinks then beer - what ever is on the tap. Can't tell much difference between them.

[–] Skanky@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Water for hydration

One of the following depending on my mood:

  • Old Fashioned
  • Whiskey Sour
  • Margarita
  • Negroni
  • Red wine (Cab or Pinot)
  • Beer (stout or an IPA)
