I chose "other".
I don't ever drink coffee (and never have---unless you count the really milky, sugary stuff my dad let me dip my cookies in when I was a kid!).
I drink green, white and red teas, green tea concentrate (one dropperful has the same antioxidant properties as 15 glasses of green tea, with no caffeine), water (lots!), soy milk (not often) and my morning smoothie (pomegranate juice, aloe vera juice, goji berries, maca root, hemp protein, Vegan Complete meal replacement/protein powder, flax meal, frozen berries). That's about it for usual beverages.

I also sometimes pick up a natural berry-flavored, green-tea-based soft drink at the local health food store.

Same with me. Some of those flavored coffees smell particularly yummy! (But coffee tastes too bitter to me).
 
Well, Anne says she lives in Starbucks land.....I work there!! So, yes I drink coffee, but only in the am.....I kinda have to....I get up at 3:30, since I open the store. That morning jolt of caffeine is a must for me. I allow myself only 2 caffeine related beverages, then it is on to ice water or somedays green tea. I try to make sure I drink at leat 3-24 oz cups before my shift is done.

I drink coffee in the morning--1 or 2 cups--hot, STRONG, and black:9 :p

I drink 1 cup of hot tea in the evening--green with splenda and lemon.;-)

But mostly I drink water:p

Oh, I feel so guilty--am I the only diet coke addict in the bunch? You all are SO healthy--herbal tea, aloe juice, water, water, water.............for me, it is a diet coke in the morning, and plenty more during the day. It is terrible--but it truly is my only vice. I have tried to give it up a few times, and sometimes have even suceeded for months on end, but, alas, I always come back to it!

I like my coffee strong and black and Starbuck's, but only in the morning !! http://smilies.sofrayt.com/%5E/x/coffeecup.gif[/img]...Carole
 
Count me in for diet coke, preferably caffeine free. I do drink coffee in the AM. I make a pot half caf half decaf in the morning and drink on that until about 11. The rest of day is water and caffeine free diet coke!
 
So here's my scoop since I asked the questioned...

I drink coffee on and off all day long! The first 2 cups are caffeinated and the rest is decaf. I probably average 4-6 cups of coffee a day!:9 I take it with half and half and Splenda. The splenda thing is a new one for me. Never was into anything but real sugar before recently! In between the coffees it's water, some green tea here and there and on rare occasions a coke or some gatorade. That's maybe once a week for a change of flavor. I also love to drink a cold glass of low fat or skim milk with anything sweet! :)
 
I drink 4 or 5 cups every morning before work, with the fat free french vanilla creamer (carefully measuring 1 TBS per cup), none at work all day (just water), and recently have taken to having one cup no later than 6:00 p.m. Boy, the 5 TBS of ff creamer really adds up calorie wise and I do count it on Fitday.

One wonderful Diet Coke in the morning, then water the rest of the day, until I get home and have a Caffeine free Diet Coke or a Cherry 7up Plus.

Coffee and tea would be so much better for me, but it's what I consider my one unhealthy vice. And I don't think I could drink something warm at the start of the day!
 
I feel like I drink all day!! No, not that kind of drinking! :)
I start off most days with 1 1/2 large mugs of coffee (love my coffee grinder) with a bit of skim milk. Throughout the day, it's lots of water, and then I typically have tea in the evening. AND..I'll admit there's also the can of Diet Coke about 5 days a week. I would love to kick that habit--it's the crazy hours of retail management that drove me to it!
 
LOVE my coffee in the am and with 1/2 and 1/2 no less! At one point about 10 years ago I was in obsessively good shape. I was eating ridiculously clean - but when I went to black cofee I said .. NOPE life is to short I just have to have my coffee.

And DD iced coffee - cream no sugar. The best food or drink on this planet!
 
Coffee in the morning, Coffee in the afternoon, & Once in a while decaf after dinner. And Lotsa water or seltzer inbetween.

On weekends : wine with dinner out. And beer once in a while for happy hour etc.

I've been on a DD iced coffee kick myself since summer started! YUMMO! :9
 
Well, how do you expect someone with a coffee-drinking smiley in her post to vote??? I do switch to decaf in the afternoon though.

I drink decf coffee as I am to hyper to drink regular. I also drink a gallon of water everyday. I like green tea and need to pick up some more.

Dukechick-I too am a diet soda addict. Drink about 3 cands a day on top of the above mentioned beverages. No wonder I am in the bathroom all the time :)

LOL Nancy! A gal after my own heart! :)
 
I drink both but favor tea more (maybe 1 cup of coffee in the morning). I drink decaf tea after 1:00 p.m.

No coffee for me. I also like the smell but don't really like the taste at all.

Water is my fave. I'm never without a water bottle in hand.
