Real Ale, Lager, Spirts or the alcopops? ( which I hate as they make my teeth rot )

I like a good real ale. I used to drink lager but that gets me bloated.

Southern comfort is my best spirt and Baileys which I had a few on Chrismas evening.

Try smoothies, I love those, you can either mix your own or you can buy ready made ones in Tesco and other supermarkets. It's a good way of getting your 5 a day.

Must be Tee-totallers Anonymous here! Laughing I've shied away from alcohol completely for the last ten years (apart from the odd can of Guinness that my cousin insists on foisting upon me when I visit).

Tea - hot and black, plenty cups each day at work
Orange juice - every day without fail
Water - lots each day (but not 3 litres, Rachel!)
Coffee - very occasionally for a treat: I used to drink far too much.

I should get into those smoothies - next time I'm in Tesco I'll have a look.

I can't really digest fruit pulp, the majority of it makes me quite ill. Though juices are usually ok. I did have a very nice Pear and apple juice round a friends the other day, so that will probably be my main drink. Evil or Very Mad

Cranberry juice is very good for you, I drink a lot of it in hot weather as it's very refreshing.

Lot's of natural fruit juice. Yeah, I think I'll try some of those smoothies from tesco's.

I like the occasional pint of real ale, but seem to have a low capacity threshold - two will send me to sleep

Otherwise tea not coffee, especially the catspee that is instant

And fruit juice - a 50-50 blend of M&S organic tangelo and cranberry - it's almost addictive Embarassed

Water, lots of!

Coffee, real, none of your instant rubbish, black & very strong.

Tea, but not often & has to be leaves, preferably pure Ceylon or Darjeeling, made in a pot.

Fruit juice, especially with breakfast, orange, grapefruit, pinapple, lemon or cranberry.

Alcohol, almost never, glass of red wine with a meal, maybe twice a year.

Carbonated drinks, well only soda & orange/pinapple/lemon in the pub.

I don't drink alchohol either, never did like it much.
I'm trying to cut down on coffee as somebody suggested it can make your hands tremble a little if you have too much, so I'm going back to tea, or maybe I should stop looking at the bank statements Sad

I can understand why people should drink more water but I've heard 5 litres per day mentioned! I don't think I could handle that much.
I've taken to drinking those Lemon & Lime flavoured water drinks from Tesco's so I hope that'll do instead... Rolling Eyes

water is the very best anti-ageing product you can get, forget the creams the lotions , the potions, the injections , the face peels, the light therapy, the facial saunas..... and anything produced by those who think you're worth it. ....... 2 to 3 litres of water a day will take 5 to 10 years off your age in a couple of months ......... and it's free, but who in the beauty industry is going to tell you that.....

My mother only drinks water with her Alka-Seltzer Morning relief - otherwise she's led by the bottle, can, bar towel - and I think she looks fantastic for 45.

I drink water in the morning (from a bottle of tap water made up the night before and kept in fridge) and at work.
Then I'll have a cup of coffee sometimes, at work for break, a can of Coc Cola (fat cola not diet) with lunch.
When I get home I drink orange juice and tonic water - good for night cramps, which I suffer from.
Then it's a bottle of water to take to bed in case I start a coughing fit!

Otherwise I like the accasional lager and lime or Lambrini (yes sad person I am), but I've treated myself to a bottle of Irish Meadow for Xmas and a small bottle of Jack Daniels for New Year. I've had a bottle of brandy in the cupboard for about 6 years together with a bottle of sherry. I don't like drinking at home and rarely go out!
