I don't drink tea and I'm not a huge wine person, but I absolutely drink soda, juice, coffee, beer, and hard liquor. I'd happily go to drinking only beer, coffee, and water if it was acceptable to drink beer with lunch on work days and my body could handle drinking coffee all day long.... and I'd probably lose a lot of weight that way.

I drink a lot of tea. My sister makes the best tea so when she makes it for her, i also get to drink a cup or two from her..it's really yummy, not gonna lie! 

My favorite drink is always going to be water though..but i love tea a lot too

Counterpoint: A nice cool glass of water is both delicious and refreshing.

To each their own, but I find it having a taste and this taste is bland if ever, I can just drink flavoured water.

They used to have this thing called smallbeer. It was basically a beer with a small alcohol content, made by brewers using whatever was left after brewing the stronger variety. Apparently, at some point it was drunk by everyone. I wonder if it is still possible to buy something like that.

Yeah, I see flavoured water in shops in my area too. I thought about buying a bottle although I would probably only buy a variety that can't be done on the spot at home with the ingredients at hand. (I mean, if you have water and lemon at home, why buy lemon-flavoured water?  )

Water drinkers supremacy!! 😂

 

Fresh juice over powdered juice.

Abstained drinking flavored soda for years now (sparkling water is okay)

Yes to tea 🍵 But not so much on sweet iced tea / bubble tea / milk tea, for they're too sweet

Only drinks wine on special occasions. Primarily uses wine on cooking

Doesn't like the taste of beer and doesn't want to have a "beer belly" (I learned from my relatives) 😂

 

In addition:

Yes to hot cocoa!

I'd prefer to drink soy milk over cow's milk

Only drinks coffee when situation calls for it. Otherwise I'd stay too wide awake

Generally I only drink water and sparkling water. I also enjoy hot mint tea but I haven't had that in a long time.

 

I used to drink pop (soda) but dropped it years ago. I stopped drinking anything sugary at that time, so that included juices. Alcohol I don't drink, and never will.

Which is why I just bought a bottle of strawberry-flavoured water.

Coffee is my first drink of the day, after that I mainly drink water, sometimes I'll have a soda, sometimes I'll have a beer or whiskey when I'm out socialising, not very often though as I'm normally the allocated driver

Juice  - weekend breakfast

 

Soda - sugar free, not cola or any other containing phosphoric acid, a couple of days a week

 

Wine and tea - nope, I don't like the tannins 

 

Beer - yup 😋😋

Do you have a suggestion which soft drinks would be worth looking into based on that?

Ginger ( beer, ale ), Vimto and derivatives, fruit fizzy drinks, there's lots

The main reason I like ginger ale is because it is good both cold and warm, it refreshes either way. You don't necessarily have to put ice in it (although I do most of the time because I find I prefer it cold) and you don't necessarily have to keep it refrigerated.
