This may seem odd, but my favorite beverage—the one I drink everyday throughout the day is my cucumber-lemon water.  I make it daily and drink it throughout the day.  It's refreshing and it acts like a cleaner. 

Drink it for an entire day, and you're sure to see positive results.

Excellent Angela. Thank you so much for starting off the discussion. Although I have to admit that cucumber-lemon water does sound a bit, unique, I'll be willing to give it a try. I like cucumbers with lemon so, we'll see. What does it do for you? Why did you start drinking it? How do you make it?

When the going gets tough as in "Man, I need a drink"?! Well that drink would be BV Pinot Noir. Or a cold beer since summer's coming and there's nothing better than a really cold beer on a hot summer day :)

In the morning, coffee with cream, no sugar.

Any other time of the day, water with lemon or a good old Diet Coke :)

Almost anything with caffeine! Preferably Diet Coke or coffee.

I'm not really a soda drinker, but coffee, now that's a different thing all together. My family is Colombian so if I could walk around with an IV pole and a bag of coffee, I would. I'm from New York, so the southern sweet tea, while sometimes nice, is altogether too sweet for me on an everyday basis. Water is what I drink all other times, and that is because I am so concerned with re-hydrating my body after the coffee stints, that I am now habitually carrying a water bottle everywhere.

For the let loose times, I agree with Natalie, a nice cold beer does the trick. Favorite: Flat Tire. It's from a micro brewery but is available in most areas. Since I am a light weight when alcohol is concerned, I generally stick to beer as it takes a lot more of it to get me drunk. Pinot Grigio for wine when I'm out celebrating with friends or at functions. And ONLY when my husband is driving because let me tell you, I'm a really cheap date. 

Now, with all that said, since I try to hold on for dear life to my youth, every once in a while we have girls night. (which I haven't had in some time now btw, but I digress) That is when the occasional shot comes into play. 1 or 2 is all you really need, anything more than that can make you sloppy and no one wants a sloppy drunk. :0) Lemon shots! That is the staple for a girls night out.

Anyone else?

Doh! No shots for me - I can drink beer and wine, but throw any hard alcohol at me and I'm toast!

Definately coffee as first choice, but my fav cold drink is Diet Pepsi. Pepsi One in the house but diet is fine when we're dining out.

I guess I'm a coffee addict, preferably 100% arabica, I have tried to stop to no avail! Like orangina too , J20 mango or just mango juice. I have a small sherry during the holidays. A glass of red wine when entertaining or being entertained. 

It has done various things for me.  I'll tell you what: try it for about a week and tell me what you notice.  Hopefully you'll get the same or similiar benefits, if you don't then I'll share what it has done for me.

Oh, I do love my coffee too ladies!

I'm not a coffee drinker or much of an alcohol fan so I reach for a cold Diet Pepsi/Diet Dr.Pepper/Diet Coke. I can't stand the smell of beer!!! Blah! BUT this will be weird, but I do love the way it smells on my husband's breath. lol...it's actually a turn on! hehe!!! I do have an occasional margarita.  Was that TMI???  : )
