1. Do you like to drink water?
2. What temperature? (ice cold, tap cold, warm, hot, etc)
3. What's your morning beverage of choice?
4. Do you like to drink caffeine? In what form? (soda, coke, coffee, tea, etc)
5. Do you keep a beverage near you throughout the day?

Bonus Question:
What's your absolute favorite beverage?

I'm going to sit down and finish my smoothie and drink my water before it warms up!

 

[Angela Toucan]

1. Do you like to drink water? - yes!

2. What temperature? (ice cold, tap cold, warm, hot, etc) - usually from the tap. If I'm very hot I might go for chilled, particularly if the tap water is warm. When I'm unwell I like to sip hot water.

3. What's your morning beverage of choice? Kombucha - my husband brews it.

4. Do you like to drink caffeine? In what form? (soda, coke, coffee, tea, etc) Tea please, Assam is my favourite, next comes Redbush Tea.

Bonus Question:
What's your absolute favorite beverage? hot cocoa (unsweetened) with a splash of cream.

 

[jk703]

1. Do you like to drink water? Yes, lots.

2. What temperature? (ice cold, tap cold, warm, hot, etc) Out of the tap it's pretty cold. If it isn't, I'll add a cube or two of ice. Otherwise, it's cooler at work. Really cold, and I can't drink it or enough.

3. What's your morning beverage of choice? Tea. A LOT!

4. Do you like to drink caffeine? In what form? (soda, coke, coffee, tea, etc) Tea and Soda.

5. Do you keep a beverage near you throughout the day? Yes. Tea, and then usually water until about 7 or 8 at night. Then I have my soda.

Bonus Question:
What's your absolute favorite beverage? Diet Wild Cherry Pepsi. (This actually fills in for any sort of dessert!)

 

[djp332]

1. Do you like to drink water? Yes.
2. What temperature? (ice cold, tap cold, warm, hot, etc) Ice cold.
3. What's your morning beverage of choice? In the winter I drink Chai Tea Latte. In the summer, iced tea.
4. Do you like to drink caffeine? In what form? (soda, coke, coffee, tea, etc) No, it makes me crazier.

[KimJ]

1. Do you like to drink water? Yes

2. What temperature? (ice cold, tap cold, warm, hot, etc) I refill my glass from the fridge water dispenser, which is pretty cold, but I actually prefer it after it's warmed up to room temperature.

3. What's your morning beverage of choice? Just water

4. Do you like to drink caffeine? In what form? (soda, coke, coffee, tea, etc) I used to drink lots of Diet Mountain Dew, but I gave it up a few years ago. These days I will have a caffeinated soda of some sort once in a while if we eat out, but I usually opt for water or something fruity. I only drink caffeine at home if I'm dead tired and have things I absolutely have to do. In that case I will grab one of my son's Monster drinks. I think that's only happened once in the last year or so.

5. Do you keep a beverage near you throughout the day? Water glass on my desk or on the coffee (ironic) table, wherever I am sitting at the moment.

Bonus Question:
What's your absolute favorite beverage? Not sure. I do like smoothies, but for some reason I don't really think of those as beverages. LOL

 

[michelepixels]

1. Do you like to drink water? Very much so. All day long. Soon after I wake up through to bedtime.
2. What temperature? (ice cold, tap cold, warm, hot, etc) I'll drink refrigerated but prefer it straight from the tap (filtered). Occasionally I'll drink it hot if my water bottle has been sitting in my hot car for hours and I'm really thirsty.
3. What's your morning beverage of choice? Water. Occasionally orange juice.
4. Do you like to drink caffeine? In what form? (soda, coke, coffee, tea, etc) I drink none of these. I stopped drinking soda in 2000, never drank coffee, and only drink tea if I'm sick.
5. Do you keep a beverage near you throughout the day? A water bottle.

Bonus Question:
What's your absolute favorite beverage? Lemonade.

5. Do you keep a beverage near you throughout the day? Absolutely!

Bonus Question:
What's your absolute favorite beverage? DIET PEPSI!!!!

My journaling from this layout:
They say to pick your poison, and I’ve definitely picked mine! Except for a short period of time in 2015, I have a Diet Pepsi every day. Well, really, two or three per day. Some days I’m better than others, and drink enough water in there as well. Still, I’ll choose a Diet Pepsi every time. The feel of the carbonation and the taste of the drink . . . there’s just something
about it that is so satisfying. It has to be very cold from the fridge and poured over a huge glass of ice. I prefer ice from an ice machine, but I’ll take it from our ice maker as well. It’s my drink of choice in the morning, afternoon and evening!

[tkradtke]

1. Do you like to drink water? Yes... all day long
2. What temperature? (ice cold, tap cold, warm, hot, etc) Ice cold from our water dispenser.
3. What's your morning beverage of choice? Water... but if my husband goes to work out first thing in the morning, he gets me an iced soy chai when he gets his smoothie.
4. Do you like to drink caffeine? In what form? (soda, coke, coffee, tea, etc) Not really. But I will drink iced tea (unsweetened) in restaurants and the occasional soda (Dr. Pepper!!). Me and too much caffeine is not a good combination.
5. Do you keep a beverage near you throughout the day? Yes... my Yeti full of water travels me around the house all day.

Bonus Question:
What's your absolute favorite beverage?
Oh gosh... I have no one favorite unless it's water. I do love Dr. Pepper, iced soy chai, matcha green tea latte (soy), and the house made pineapple basil soda at a restaurant by us. If I could only pick one besides water, it would be Dr. Pepper (I think!).

 

[littlekiwi]

1. Do you like to drink water? Not really to be honest but trying to get better at it
2. What temperature? (ice cold, tap cold, warm, hot, etc) tap cold or ice cold
3. What's your morning beverage of choice? No particular beverage
4. Do you like to drink caffeine? In what form? (soda, coke, coffee, tea, etc) yes as diet coke, don’t drink a lot of hot beverages as I’m lactose intolerant and hate the alternative milks apart from lactose free which very few cafes seem to stock (in 9 years I’ve seen one cafe stock it as an option)
5. Do you keep a beverage near you throughout the day? yes

Bonus Question:
What's your absolute favorite beverage? probably peach iced tea

 

[pagefrocks]

You all are masters at provoking interesting conversation!

Nope, but I will when I HAVE to.

2. What temperature? (ice cold, tap cold, warm, hot, etc)
cold . . . ice cold!

coffee all the way . . . with hazelnut creamer. But I stop at noon or I can't sleep.

4. Do you like to drink caffeine? In what form? (soda, coke, coffee, tea, etc)
At noon, I switch to ice tea . . . but it has to be a specific brand. I ONLY drink Turkey Hill brand Green Tea with Ginsing and Honey. I have been known to flyer a cooler full of it to Florida (I really did!). I map out access before every trip. Don't even say it . . . I know, it's a lot of sugar.

5. Do you keep a beverage near you throughout the day?
I literally buy tea by the gallon and keep jugs at work and home. I keep a 18.5 fl ounce bottle of it with me always that I continually refill. Some days I drink as much as a gallon between noon and bedtime. Other days, less than half a gallon.

Bonus Question:

Well, that's kinda obvious now . . .

But I do love a good hot or iced chai latte too . . .
