So what's everyone drinking lately? Not alcohol, that would be a whole separate topic.

Do you ever put thought into what you're drinking, or just chug it down?

I used to drink almost nothing but pop and energy drinks. I wouldn't think a thing of having a couple pops and 3 Amps over the course of the day. Easily >1000 calories just in what I was drinking

And when I made my coffee, I used to doctor it up with like 4 blobs of sugar and a bunch of creamer, easily another 200 calories per cup.

I cut out the pop and amp, and started taking my coffee black. It took some getting used to, but caffeine and 0 calories is nice. And then the rest of the time I've been drinking water. On rare occasions I do diet pepsi* or treat myself to an amp.

*When I was a kid, my mom worked at a plant where all they stocked in the machines was diet. She got used to diet pepsi, started buying it at home, and I grew up drinking diet pepsi. Regular pepsi and coke are too syrupy or thick for my taste. Despite the rest of the post, this is not a health conscious decision. lol

What fuels you?

Monster Khaos. It used to be more % of juice, but it is amazing. "Ripper" is okay, it's more of a tropical flavor but even less juice than Khaos.

Or coffee with cream. Dunkin Donuts preferred.

Still have 1 last pound of Christmas Blend Starbucks (my favorite, black), & last night I had a Dr. Browns RootBeer.

I drink a lot of tea in the mornings. I drink powerade most of the time in the afternoon and when I get home, I drink water. I don't put sugar in my tea, though sometimes it is hot tea depending on the weather.

Same as OP, actually. Coffee, black and water. On weekends I treat myself to my drug of choice, Monster Absolute Zero. Another weekend treat is throwing all that silly crap in the coffee that people like. I use heavy whipping cream and splenda.

I've recently found that QuickChek has surprisingly palatable "ice coffee." Also, the chain is running a summer promotion with 50 cent cold drink refills of a pre purchased cup. I was told ice coffee is acceptable for refills ("cold drinks only"), so I'm enjoying my caffeine at deep discount right now.

Oh yeah. You could've gotten WC when you came up my way, Dep. There's one just a few blocks from me! They even deliver.

I bet the WC delivery drivers see some sights...

What's this "WC" thing? Explain to the hick what's up.. because WC typically means 'water closet'. You don't want to sample that fare.

Okay - so the place you go right before you commune in the water closet. Gotcha.

Black coffee and water are my liquid drugs of choice. On weekends, I sometimes get a little crazy and break out the green tea.

Yea but those little grease ball burgers are like 200 calories each. I had an enormous unwich that was less than that at Jimmy Johns.

I'll have some again soon, I'm sure. But I had a greasy ass slice of pizza the other day. I try to limit bad eating to one or two small things a week.


And mmm green tea sounds good.
