Today a coffee drinker...try all sorts of flavors.

Back in the day when I was young and foolish (21 or so) I drank shots of whisky with beer as a chaser. Never got drunk either. Why? Because on day of my partying I'd coat my stomach with bread, cheese and milk. You never get drunk if you do that. You also don't wake up the next day with a hangover.

As I got older and more refined I found I liked my drink of B&B (Brandy & Benidectine). It's a French Liquor.

Haven't had that in years and every so often I think about going out and buying a bottle but that soon passes and I don't. LOL

Tea all the way.

Me also. lol. Accidentally, aspirated stuff into my nose and it wasn't pleasant -- coughing, choking, etc. I've thought of trying those pots where you suck liquid/warm water into the nose for sinus problems (what are they called-- neti or pootie pots ???or something like that) but haven't been brave enough to try.

"Pootie pots"! To funny:):):)
I'm an ex-drinker. Drink Lipton Diet Green Tea all day long.

One diet Pepsi a day - a 20 oz-er. The cans just don't go far enough.

Chai tea in the morning when it's cool out, then sweet ice tea until 6 pm and crystal light the rest of the night. Used to drink lots of diet Pepsi and Coke, but that got too expensive so I switched to ice tea to keep the caffeine coming. Drinking that all the time had me up until 3-4 am so I lose the caffeine in the evenings and can have a more normal schedule.

Love red wine but when I open a bottle and have a glass, I seem to forget about it until I have to use it to make spaghetti sauce! When I visit my DD and DSIL I'll have Irish Car Bombs because he really makes them YUMMMMM, but they go down so easily that they are dangerous! :oops:

i grew up in a teetotalling household when i was a kid. it never became a part of my life habits. now that i'm old, i have found that i love mead. i purchase it, put it in the basement in a rack, and forget that i have it. a "flood" recently required a cleaning and reorganizing. i found about 20 bottles of mead in the basement that i've accumulated over the years...and forgotten to drink. so, i told my kids that when i turn 65, i'm going to start drinking. when i'm 85 i'll take up smoking. and when i'm 95, i'll smoke a joint. maybe. i still have a couple of years before i "have" to drink the mead. it should be nice and mellow by the time a get to it. if i remember...

I am typically a one margaretta a year person, but a couple of weeks ago I was at a party and was talked into a shot of whiskey. I noticed on the drive home that my husbands driving didn't bother me. Normally I suck in all the air in the car and grab the sissy bar. (he really makes me nervous) I am re-thinking this shot a day theory.

Oh my gosh, you sure got my morning started with a good laugh. I've tried to drink a little wine since so many of my friends drink it but bottom line is I just don't like the taste of any of it. Over the lips or any other way..............LOL

I am a pretty heavy drinker, I have to admit. Our recycling container fills up in no time. We have had to have them bring an extra one for us. Dh talks about how much I drink, but I guess there is no controlling it.

They stop making bottled water, I don't know what I am going to do. Drink even more coffee, I guess.

The nitrates in wine cause an allergic response with me. Don't really like alcohol and would be happier with a soda. I do admit to be a Tetley Tea addict. Tea in the morning, tea at noon and several more cups by the evening. It's the only thing that keeps my allergy hair ball (that nasty thick mucus in the throat) from choking me. Now isn't that a pleasant thought. Yuck!

It's coffee 1st thing in the morning, sweet southern iced tea the rest of the day and on special occasions - an unbrella drink!!! The 1st free motion quilt class I took the teacher suggested a glass of wine before practicing FMQ. I'm not sure if it was to loosen you up or you would not be so critical of your work!!! haha

I tend to stick with herbal teas, a cup of latte each morning, and water. Though I love my wine (preferably white) and a good Cosmopolitan just makes me happy!

Cup of black coffee in the morning. Then through the day
water with a tiny bit of lemon..no sugar. Sometimes in the
afternoon or evening a plain old Coke. Lots of time a cup of hot tea before I go to bed. No alcohol.

Now that is cute. I am what they call a cheap drunk. Half a glass of white wine and I am done for. A beer??? No...really have a headache then. And real liquor.....just the smell would put me to sleep.

Decaf coffee, diet coke, decaf coffee, A & W root beer, decaf coffee, hot cocoa, and did I say decaf coffee?

Labels on my meds say, No alcohol consumption.

Lipton Decaff Hot tea and Ice Tea, decaff diet coke. Occasional glass of wine, would never miss it if never had it again. Sometimes in summer when it is hot and we go out to dinner, a pina colada....but could also pass on that.

I am addicted to iced tea..with no sugar just a nice slice of lemon in it...my DH makes our tea fresh brewed most every day. I used to drink close to a 6 pack of pepsi a day...my old stomach can't handle soda anymore...I don't drink alchol at all and haven't had a marlboro in 27 years!! crafty_linda_b

Now you are one thinking along my lines, what can it hurt. I am also following the same thoughts. Even with getting tattoos. Had always wanted one but didn't like idea of them sagging or losing their color so waited till was older. Just turned 60 and my artist is working on my design to add to my hummingbird. I plan on getting a new one each decade from here on in. Even thinking that when I get to about 80 (if still around) will have a DNR added to my wrist. Now as for drinks I have my glass of red wine (good for ya) a couple times a week. Margaritas in the summer and Bailys in the winter. So relaxing.

I'm a huge drinker, coffee and water that is.

Peppermint tea at bedtime. Regular tea (hot or cold) during the day (and other flavors as the mood suits me). Carbonated drinks are fun ocassionally.

I used to work in a nightclub. That is where I met DH. The club was my night time 2nd job. Sometimes I would have a glass of cheap wine on the way to work to get me started. Some times by the middle of shift I was flying pretty high. But I married an alcoholic and learned first hand of how hard it is to live with some of them. (had 2 other alcoholic hubbys and 1 gambler) But they were no where near as bad as #4. I guess I didn't have enough sence to even know the first 3 had problems. So when DH #4 quit drinking, I did too. We both also quit smoking 20 or so yrs ago. Sometimes I would like a glass of wine but like someone else said, the meds say no alcohol or heavy equip. So I just drink lots of tea or water.

Love my Martini! My DH feels really lucky then!!

Ah, yes! A chocolate martini!

We like Reeds Ginger Beer --can now get it in Ontario and in Fl. Buy it by the case the way others here buy
alcoholic beer.

Start with a glass of water,cup of coffee, water all day, sometimes iced tea at dinner, coffee after dinner. Nothing but filtered, purified water in my house. NO tap water because of the chemicals. Alcohol went away many years ago, and I don't miss it. However, I don't mind if you don't. :)
Be healthy, stay sane and live a good life!!! Blessings.

Diet coke for me.............

Well, my favorite "drink" is rum cake batter!

About 2:00 I get to start sewing and sew to 4:30. Then I go and get my glass of Pinot Noir and a small bowl of Fishy Crackers (that I share with my dog) then come to this site til 5:30. Then I have to go start dinner. Boohoo!

Sometimes I have a mixed drink before going to bed if I'm anticipating having trouble falling asleep. We're on a night shift schedule, and it throws my sleep patterns off occasionally. I doze right off afterwards. I'm such a party animal! :XD:

me too.

very rarely a glass of rose wine or a tiny glass of Drambuie liquor - other than that, it's usually ice water for me!

No alcohol and only herbal tea. hot cocoa winter mornings, lemonade favorite summer drink, water all the time and even some milk. LDS and am not even tempted to drink alcohol too many sad lives.

Sweet Iced Tea

sometimes I wish I did drink.lol

I do have an occasional glass of wine but honestly, I prefer a big glass of sweet tea.

Good answer. :lol:

My husband is a recovering acholic. I told him when we got married that I would not drink in front of him or come home with liqure on my breath. (sounds like a good country song)

I really like spending the weekend with my girlfriends. They let me get a couple of Margeritas and they drive me home. I am a cheap drunk.

Ditto!!!!

:lol: :wink: :thumbup: :thumbup:
