@jst1ofknd@shahnm@simplersimon my partner is born and bred boston and drinks almost solely seltzer, with some soda or tonic too the word seltzer sounds almost identical to the word salsa in the accent, to the point where i often have to ask him to clarify or enunciate
I drink water most followed next by beer then lemonade. Water at office and home, beer at restaurant near home, lemonade at places workmates take me for lunch during work.
Beer
Coffee, black, no sugar
Kombucha with tequila (try it! 2oz of tequila,12oz of your favorite flavor of booch, over 2-4 ice cubes in a pint glass)
Whiskey
Seltzer
Soy latte
Whisky
But by far mostly water. Probably a gallon a day. I have to pee a lot.
@enville@InnocuousFarmer@moonhat Turns out that I’ve been using the wrong whiskey/whisky for years–and reversed the order above. I prefer scotch, which is e-less. But the other types are good too.
Milk is So Bad for Humans, unless it’s Breastmilk. Cow milk is for Cow Babies… We are the only species that drinks another animals milk, after we are weaned.
@Mandamm Other animals will do it if the opportunity arises - I’ve seen cats, dogs, horses, birds, and even lizards drink cows’ milk, even if it’s not necessarily good for them. We’re just the only ones that figured out how to get it reliably.
@dannybeans@Mandamm Yep, this a dumb argument against milk. We’re the only species that does a lot of things, that doesn’t necessarily mean they are bad.
Water and coffee (with a drop of heavy whipping cream in it) are pretty much the only things I drink. I stopped drinking milk and started drinking more water a few years ago when 1) I started tracking calories and 2) I got a kidney stone.
I keep 8oz sodas in my fridge if I’m having something that pairs really well with it (good pizza), but that’s maybe one every two weeks. When I infrequently drink booze, it’s tequila or vodka on the rocks.
half tap water half ice in a nalgene 24/7…unless i’m at a bar. in which case vodka soda with lime or jameson on the rocks. an old fashioned or a super dirty vodka martini if i’m at a nice cocktail serving place.
that’s really it, i probably have half a can of coke once a month to aid in becoming less hungover from aforementioned cocktails, and occasionally i’ll have hot chocolate made with milk in the winter, or iced hibiscus tea with lemons in the summer.
@jerk_nugget and i used to be a big milk drinker…i still love milk. i always have whole organic milk in the fridge. growing up milk was always served with meals, my parents still have it with dinner. but i don’t need the calories, i’m fat and sedentary enough, and water helps with my skin issues and staying hydrated helps me ward off migraines, so.
one other thing i love to drink…venti iced green tea lattes with skim milk from starbucks. i only have a few a year but dang, they are good.
@jerk_nugget I don’t understand ice-water. The extreme cold temperature makes it a lot harder to drink in quantity. And in humid parts of the country, it leads to the condensation getting all over the place.
@Limewater ah, i see the misunderstanding. i don’t like freezing water either. the reason for so much ice is because my tap water isn’t very cold. so it makes the water a perfect temp for drinking immediately, and then as it melts it allows me to have cool water most of the day depending on the weather. (a nalgene holds a liter of water and i drink 2-3 per day.) it is ridiculously humid here part of the year and yes it does sweat everywhere but then, so does everything including me just life, nbd.
@jerk_nugget If your water still has ice in it at all, it’s too cold for me, unless you just put it in.
Even out of the tap, I usually let it sit a while before I drink it to let it come up a bit closer to room temperature.
@Limewater yes, i put the ice in and drink it immediately. then the ice makes new cool water for later on as it sits out while my thirst is quenched for the time being.
at my parents they use a brita filter so i would never add ice to already refrigerated water and sometimes that water is too cold for me.
the water temp in our apartment is the bane of my existence. the kitchen tap on cold is often cold for a second to start but then turns warm or lukewarm. it would waste a lot of water to wait for it to get to the perfect drinking temp. in the shower it’s worse, the cold water seems to “run out” randomly and all that’s left is boiling hot water that could literally burn your skin. good times! anyway, i go through a lot of ice
@jerk_nugget We keep our filter pitcher on the kitchen counter. Refrigerated water is way too cold. If I was just going to sip it, I guess it would be alright.
Roughly speaking, where do you live that the cold water is so warm?
@Limewater boston been here since '01 and my partner is born and bred here and neither of us have ever experienced anything like it. i suspect it’s related to one or both of our downstairs neighbors acquiring an appliance such as a dishwasher or washing machine, but my landlord refuses to look into it so who knows. at least he’s the one footing the bill for the heat & hot water, but it’s extremely annoying.
eta: i mean lived in the boston area since '01, not lived here in this apartment. been here a little over four years.
@Limewater haha! yeah, i gathered we might be on opposite ends on that one it’s great for me most of the year (i hate summer) - it’s a very brisk and gusty 15F tonight & the bedroom window is cracked still lol. i run very warm. i have one winter coat i’ve never worn.
Other than tea, the thing I drink the most is water.
Beer
@TheGreatNico same
@TheGreatNico @tonylegrone
How can this not be one of the choices?
@2many2no @TheGreatNico @tonylegrone Exactly!
Sparkling water and the various spin-offs of bubbly non-sweetened water…
But mostly beer.
Milk.
@simplersimon
Me too.
You spelled Pop wrong
@lichme Ahhh… a fellow Yankee!
@lichme @Mehrocco_Mole
The word for it is coke.
@jst1ofknd You’re a monster.
@lichme
You spelled “carbonated beverage” incorrectly.
@simplersimon
I live in a divided house. I say coke. The wife says pop. My oldest son says soda for no other reason than to be contrary to both of us.
This whole thing is a “point of contention” in our house.
@jst1ofknd @simplersimon if you really want to further mix it up get an old school bostonian in there, then it’s tonic.
@jerk_nugget @jst1ofknd @simplersimon Seltzuh.
@jst1ofknd @shahnm @simplersimon my partner is born and bred boston and drinks almost solely seltzer, with some soda or tonic too the word seltzer sounds almost identical to the word salsa in the accent, to the point where i often have to ask him to clarify or enunciate

At this time of year, eggnog.
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: Pepsi, nectar of the gods
/giphy milk
Beer
Coffee, black, no sugar
Kombucha with tequila (try it! 2oz of tequila,12oz of your favorite flavor of booch, over 2-4 ice cubes in a pint glass)

@00 are whisky and whiskey different?
@00 @moonhat Yes, yes they are. Scotch is whisky, Irish is whiskey. Most American varieties are whiskey, Maker’s Mark is whisky.
@00 @enville ahhh, interesting! Thank you! This is where I say, TIL, yes?!
@00 @enville @moonhat Ahh, but it is less clear-cut than that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whisky#Etymology
@00 GOWAD!
@00 I have never thought of putting tequila in kombucha! I will have to try it.
@00 @moonhat and today I learned what TIL means, thank you!
@Limewater TIL GOWAD
@enville @InnocuousFarmer @moonhat Turns out that I’ve been using the wrong whiskey/whisky for years–and reversed the order above. I prefer scotch, which is e-less. But the other types are good too.
Coffee, the fuel of the Internet generation.
@hchavers I for one mix together coffee, Monster, and a few drops of high nic ejuice for good measure.
@JoetatoChip Rocket fuel is good too
Bourbon and coke.
I only drink soda when I “drink”
beer
Juice. More specifically: orange juice.
@DVDBZN I mostly drink “juice” more specifically Hawaiian Punch.
Milk obviously. How is this not a choice.
/giphy wine
I like how you said “other than water.” That’s cute.
Hahaha I’ll be dead by 45.
Beer!!
Vodka. And if I’m filling festive I add eggnog and Kahlua
I drink so much more milk than water and thats probably not good but i dont care. Milk tastes too good.
Milk is So Bad for Humans, unless it’s Breastmilk. Cow milk is for Cow Babies… We are the only species that drinks another animals milk, after we are weaned.
@Mandamm I’m with you. Milk makes me sick. I’ve been using rice milk or almond milk in cereal forever.
@Mandamm Other animals will do it if the opportunity arises - I’ve seen cats, dogs, horses, birds, and even lizards drink cows’ milk, even if it’s not necessarily good for them. We’re just the only ones that figured out how to get it reliably.
@dannybeans @Mandamm Yep, this a dumb argument against milk. We’re the only species that does a lot of things, that doesn’t necessarily mean they are bad.
@Mandamm I’ve been drinking pea milk lately. More sustainable. Tasty too.
@Mandamm @mehnyblooms
Pee milk. Ew.
@jst1ofknd @Mandamm I should have seen that one coming.
Water and coffee (with a drop of heavy whipping cream in it) are pretty much the only things I drink. I stopped drinking milk and started drinking more water a few years ago when 1) I started tracking calories and 2) I got a kidney stone.
I keep 8oz sodas in my fridge if I’m having something that pairs really well with it (good pizza), but that’s maybe one every two weeks. When I infrequently drink booze, it’s tequila or vodka on the rocks.
@Kabn Heavy cream in coffee is amazing. And a little dark brown sugar if the mood strikes.
Blood of my enemies. From their skulls.
half tap water half ice in a nalgene 24/7…unless i’m at a bar. in which case vodka soda with lime or jameson on the rocks. an old fashioned or a super dirty vodka martini if i’m at a nice cocktail serving place.

eta: i mean lived in the boston area since '01, not lived here in this apartment. been here a little over four years.
@jerk_nugget Boston? Your entire life is too cold for me in every aspect. Good luck surviving the winter. I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t.
@jerk_nugget @Limewater I lived there for four years. I couldn’t escape fast enough!
@Limewater haha! yeah, i gathered we might be on opposite ends on that one it’s great for me most of the year (i hate summer) - it’s a very brisk and gusty 15F tonight & the bedroom window is cracked still lol. i run very warm. i have one winter coat i’ve never worn.
@Limewater @shahnm it’s not for everyone that’s for sure but then, most places aren’t!
Another day, another obvious answer left out of the poll. Milk.
Flavored water. I like the True Lime Watermelon.
@cinoclav +1 for True Lime
After water, it is a mix of milk, juice, and sometimes soda.
When you “boil down” all the answers, aren’t they still mostly water?
