I'm just curious - and nosy sorry!
I'm curious to know what we all drink. I used to drink a lot of fizzy drinks and then I moved on to coffee but now I'm drinking tea and water. My doctors and nurses said tea and water were the healthiest drinks for me. I found this has helped my digestive system which I always used to struggle with. But I do still crave the sugary drinks but I only have one every now and then as a treat.
My daughter drinks water, squash and apple juice mostly. I try to keep fizzy drinks away from her as I don't want her digestive system upset or for her to encounter any other problems.
I drink a LOT of tea throughout the day - PG tips, Nettle tea, and Twinings Calm tea. I drink pineapple juice at breakfast. No coffee - I absolutely hate coffee. I went through a phase for about 5 years of drinking water full of finely crushed ice because I loved the texture so much. I had to give it up eventually as it was so not good for my teeth (!)
In terms of alcohol - for years I used drink a cocktail that was Campari mixed with Prosecco and Cointreau. Now I have the occasional Spiced Rum and Pinapple juice, or sometimes Tequila, Cointreau and orange juice.
I only have one alcoholic drink per night (and not every night) - because I’m in my fifties now and being more careful about my health. In the winter I like a hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows - so nice!
