Water is what I drink 90% of the time. If it’s not that, then it’s green tea or coffee, or perhaps the delicious milkshake once in a while. ---

Loumi juice. You’d call it fresh limeade, I think. ---

If I weren’t lactose intolerant, good ol chocolate milk. And don’t suggest soy chocolate milk, it’s tangy to me. Ew. I loves me some Thomas Kemper root beer, Snapple or Arizona lemon iced tea, water or Alpine spiced cider. But I gotta admit, I’m a totally heavy drinker. I can’t get enough of that water. It’s good stuff. But I can stop whenever I want. 😛 ---

A nice large mug of hot strong tea or coffee, with milk and a good dollop of sugar. **Penchan** , when I couldn’t take cows’ milk, I used something based on coconut milk. It went very well with rhubarb crumble, as I recall. ---

Diet Dr. Pepper. Failing that, Hansen’s diet sodas, preferably the vanilla cola, or the rootbeer. I always swore I’d never drink diet soda, I’d rather wean myself onto smaller amounts of the real stuff, but that wasn’t happening so I finally switched. ---

Iced coffee,with milk and sugar, followed by Snapple diet plumogranate iced tea (I have no idea how they spell that), Snapple diet blueberry iced tea, and diet Pepsi. I can’t stand the syrupy sweetness of corn syrup, so I stick to diet drinks. Iced tea is good too, but I prefer iced coffee. Homemade chai is excellent in wintertime. ---

Even though I always love cold Coke Classic over ice, I’m a little tired of soda. Right now, my favorite is good old original Sunny Delight. ---

Unsweetened, unlemonated Iced Tea, Dr. Pepper, or Squirt. I used to be all about the Lemonade, but I can’t find any anymore that isn’t way overly sweet. Makes my teeth hurt… ---

Huh, I never knew my beverage of choice was called an Arnold Palmer. I just call it teamonade. I don’t really drink much of anything, but I drink teamonade when I’m working and it’s hot out. Otherwise, I get suddenly thirsty and drink about a litre of water (Mmm, cold, delicious wellwater). I’m pretty sure this means I’m dehydrated, but I just don’t like beverages all that much. P.S. I love Coke and will drink it if it’s put in front of me. ---

Malt ovaltine limeade and cherry limeade I’m pretty much addicted to limeade. It’s so full of limey goodness. ---

An ice cold frothy virgin Pina Colada made with fresh coconut milk and pineapple. Of course, what made it particularly special was that I was in Maui and it was served by a sweetheart in a bikini top and grass skirt. Cliche, I know, but what sweet memories. I still like them, though, even in Louisiana. ---

I really like Odwalla Superfood. It’s a bit spendy though so I don’t get it much. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whats-your-favorite-non-alcoholic-drink/409808.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whats-your-favorite-non-alcoholic-drink/409808.md?page=4)
