Unless I'm drinking alcohol, it's all water all the time. I have a half gallon thermal mug that I keep filled with ice water. I'll go through 2-5 a day depending on the heat.

[–] monsterpiece42@reddthat.com 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Right now water because I'm at work. At home.. more for sure.

Having a variety of drinks nearby is a common autism/neurodivergent thing (ask me how I know). Not sure if that applies to you but there but where they are all distinctly different... Uh maybe look into it lol.

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Wow I can get pretty up there but you are the real beverage goblin.

I feel somewhat superior that I can say I only have a water next to me at the moment, though very often I'll also have a morning tea, afternoon tea, or sleepy tea

[–] maniel@sopuli.xyz 5 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

most of the time it's coffee, i don't have a habit of putting water in my arms reach just in case, if I'm thirsty i have to go to The Water Place

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

What is this Water Place 😳

[–] maniel@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)
[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 hour ago

It's true kitchen water tastes better than bathroom water I don't make the rules

[–] iamtrashman1312@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

Always have water, often have a second beverage with caffeine

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 11 points 12 hours ago

Bedtime tea and caffeinated soda at the same time? Why not just consume marijuana indica and cocaine if you really want them to fight it out...

[–] urheber@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 8 hours ago

tea water water limo water empty limo empty limo (its all different waters)

[–] BowtiesAreCool@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

I always have water near me, and then I drink soda or or whatever. So never more than 2

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 2 points 9 hours ago

Just a glass of flavored water I'm going to leave undrunk because a bunch of ladybugs decided to cannonball into it. They seem to be enjoying themselves and I don't really need the water so I'll leave it alone.

[–] Acamon@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

Mostly just water, but defintely happy to have multiple drinks at the same time. Particularly breakfast, I can have coffee, juice, water and a Bloody Mary. But in general I want hot drinks hot, and fizzy drinks fizzy. So if I have a lot of drinks on the go I'll have to drink them quickly.

[–] Pudutr0n@feddit.cl 15 points 17 hours ago
  • Water

I usually have 2 glasses.

[–] NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 20 points 18 hours ago
[–] Vanth@reddthat.com 9 points 16 hours ago

Just water. Other than coffee in the morning, I mostly drink water.

I sometimes have half-emptied water glasses scattered all over, worst when I'm stressed about something or feeling under the weather.

[–] thisisdee@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

None. I go to the kitchen to drink water when I need it. In the mornings, I may have a cup of coffee, which is the only drink I would bring to my desk.

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago

This is so foreign to me aha. Different strokes for different folks

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago

I have coffee, raspberry seltzer, and tap water. This is very normal for me, though my husband thinks it’s funny to see how many different types of beverage I’ll accept without realizing, so sometimes it’ll get up to like 6 drinks.

I take medication that causes dry mouth, for context.

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 9 points 18 hours ago

Zero, which is pretty normal. If I have access to a drink I generally drink the whole thing immediately and no longer have a drink within arm's reach.

[–] NeoNachtwaechter@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago

The bathroom is right next to me, and there is tap water.

And yes that is normal when I am in my bed.

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago

There's a glass of lemonade somewhere in the gulf of space at the end of where I am laying down, then there's my husband, and then there is a glass of lemonade.

[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 4 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

None, because I always end up drinking my glass of water before I make it back to my seat.

[–] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

generally one at a time, sometimes 2 if I decide to grab a cup of coffee.

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 1 points 13 hours ago

Same, water and coffee

[–] ContrarianTrail@lemm.ee 2 points 14 hours ago

I have a cup of coffee next to me which is quite typical at this time in the morning

[–] jaxiiruff@lemmy.zip 5 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (2 children)

A soda called Zevia and water. 4 is crazy especially such weird combinations like making a potion in your stomach.

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Hey I brought some of those for my diabetic aunt one holiday, and now I get them for myself all the time.

[–] jaxiiruff@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 hours ago

Yeah they are awesome! I like the caffeine free one and the Dr Pepper version. Diabetes affected a lot of people in my life so its always been a fear of mine to get it.

Water is great but its boring and I dont like coffee or tea. So the last year or so I have been trying all different kinds of sugar free drinks and they all tasted so bland until I tried zevia. Been drinking it almost daily since. So glad someone discovered that stevia plant cause we really should replace sugar everywhere we can or experiment with it more instead of that aspartame crap.

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 5 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I've barely touched the coconut all day, more a palate-cleanser when I was vaping

Water is for rinsing after sipping coke and other things with sugars in them

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I'm going to go out on a limb and say you have an oral fixation rofl. No shame in it I'm the same. I'm always sipping bevs and sucking on lozenges. Had to quit vaping for my mental health, but boy did I ever used to love vaping too.

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

I just like to keep my teeth clean and "hydrated" in all relevant areas + variety.

I also have different uses for things so the collection of drinks runs the gamut of what I need so its accesssible

[–] kindenough@kbin.earth 4 points 17 hours ago

Herbal tea and sparkling water with ice. I can drink that the whole day.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 5 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (1 children)

I have 1/4 of a glass of water.

Normally it's empty because I finish it before I even sit down.

  1. An empty bottle of iced coffee that I started on at the beginning of my shift and just finished a few minutes ago. About to start moving to the shaker cup of G Fuel for more caffeine to carry me through the rest of the night. Last one's a steel water bottle.

This is normal for me. I typically bring all 3 to my desk at the start of my shift and sip on them throughout the night.

[–] toasteecup@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Which flavor of GFuel are we rocking tonight?

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 2 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Miami Nights! I usually go between this one and the Diablo health potion flavor.

[–] toasteecup@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Miami nights is so good. Haven't tried health potion, but I'm a big fan of watermelon and blue bomber slushie

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 2 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I haven't had the watermelon one yet, but the slushie one is legit, too! My roommate gets that one sometimes, so I'll occasionally sneak a scoop of it.

[–] toasteecup@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

Definitely try watermelon, it's a nice simple flavor that doesn't get too boring.

[–] actually@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago

2 tea, one mostly empty. 1 coffee (old), 2 waters

Totally normal

[–] Today@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago

Empty tea. Almost empty wine.

[–] EleventhHour@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago
  • water
  • ice cold whole milk
  • a bottle (and tumbler) of bourbon
[–] Dr_Box@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I'm the exact opposite. I cant leave an open can or glass of drink exposed to the elements for fear of something getting into it so I will chug it if its been there for too long before I get another one

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago

Only the coke is open but its supervised so pretty safe

[–] ChihuahuaOfDoom@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago

2, an empty can of monster (just finished it) and a water bottle. Pretty standard for a night shift.

[–] jet@hackertalks.com 2 points 16 hours ago

At work I keep a 2L bottle of water on my desk, sometimes I also have a hot tea/black coffee as well.
