Cold water quenches my thirst best, but my favorite thing to drink is Diet Pepsi.

Spring water. By far. Especially cool.

Ice water. Although we had milk cows when I was a child, I never drank milk or ate dairy products. I still never drink milk - it upsets my stomach, and I never liked it anyway.

I love seltzer - esp. strawberry and lime flavors these days.

Unsweetened iced tea. I drink it every day, all year round. There is always a pitcher full in the refrigerator.

Tap water, but I’ve usually lived in places with very good water.

I'm with you agmss, I like milk. I grew up on a farm with milking cows and always drank milk. Oddly enough, I don't care for other dairy products like cheese, sour cream or ice cream, and I don't want my milk to be chocolate. I just like a nice glass of cold milk. My doctor told me several months ago that my bone density test showed osteopenia and that I should drink a glass of milk every day or prepare to add a new prescription to my daily routine. I've happily taken that medical advice and have a glass of milk every day for breakfast. Less happily I gave up my Diet Coke, because it's so bad for bone health.

I don't like any of the fake milks, and soy is the worst, it's just vile, and I don't drink alcoholic beverages of any type. I don't have any problem with others drinking them, I just don't like them, although I have tried.

I drink black coffee, plain tea, not nearly enough water although our water is good. If I do drink water, it's just plain tap water, not seltzer or flavored water or even bottled water. I seldom drink fruit juice or lemonade, etc., although I occasionally indulge in a Diet Sprite now. Even at 6 or 7 pm you might find me drinking a cup of black coffee.

I drink quite a bit of milk. I like milk. So does DH. I realize we're in the minority of adults who both might have milk with dinner when eating at home, but we do. Also cheese, yogurt, butter - we consume a fair amount of dairy.

Also water. I'll drink tap, DH typically bottled. He doesn't need the bottled now but got in the habit when carrying bottled water in his engineering vest when working. His bad habits are somewhat few ;) and I pick my battles. Occasionally he'll pick up flavored waters like lemon, or lime, and I have to admit I like those.

I keep iced tea on hand. Also the 8 oz cans of ginger ale. Occasionally something like lemon aid or cranberry juice, but its wet that I'm looking for more than sweet.

Coffee every morning but having sleep problems never after noon. I miss drinking coffee all day!

Plain seltzer with a squirt of fresh lemon or lime all day.

I like dairy but do not drink milk except in coffee. Love cheeses of all kinds. Also love ice cream and real whipped cream.

If I’m thirsty, I like ice water. I also drink Diet Coke, diet ginger ale and diet tonic water, lemonade or limeade, and iced tea. I like chocolate milk, but not plain, and not as a thirst quencher. I don’t care for non-diet fizzy drinks because I find them too sweet for my taste.

As a kid we drank milk because our city water was horrid, and it was that or nothing. Now I drink water, hot ot iced teas and the occasional Coke. I do like the water flavored with real fruit in it, also cucumber and mint.

Tap water for thirst. Tea for a pick me up. Beer in hot weather. I dislike sodas and particularly hate colas. They all taste of chemicals to me and I don’t like the fizz. I like milk but don’t consider it a thirst quencher. It is more of a light meal.

Water has always been my drink of choice. Never drink soda of any type. And

I haven't drunk milk in years.--not since I kept a milk cow some 50 years ago.

Here in the South it's always "Sweet Tea". That's iced tea with a ton of sugar. I usually order "Half and Half" and they know it is half sweet and half unsweet and most times served with a slice of lemon. Try ordering sweet tea when not in the South and you get really confused looks by the server.

I love certain fruity kombucha's!

I’ve always hated milk and was not required to drink it as a child. I can’t stand water, either. Staying hydrated is a struggle for me. As a child, Coca-Cola* was served with lunch, iced tea with supper. My favorite thirst quencher is an Arnold Palmer - half tea and half lemonade, or sweet tea with extra lemons.

*Cokes were only 6 oz. then.

Our tap water is horrid, even when filtered and infused. My favorite drinks are sodas, so I have trained myself to like zero-calorie flavored sodas. My new favorite thirst quenchers are various kombochas. Not too sweet but still flavorful and tart. Plus the added benefits of probiotics. I am not supposed to drink a lot of soda water, so by default, I have to drink bottled water, which I make myself drink two to four glasses of a day. Not a fave but necessary.

I have delicious well water that is cold year round, so it’s good to drink, but if I’m really thirsty, I prefer something with bubbles. My favorite is Spindrift seltzer. It has a tiny bit of fruit juice added and no sweetener. I also love ice cold beer, but even tho it’s a great thirst quencher, drinking it too fast isn’t such a great idea!

If I drink cold milk or something sweet when I’m thirsty, it makes me sick to my stomach. On my first visit to NC I ordered Iced tea with my lunch and was shocked that it was sweet! I couldn’t believe they’d added sugar without asking me! It was undrinkable- I never add sugar to iced tea, so it was quite a shock.

I love chemicals and fizz, so Floral can send her share my way. It's not for thirst (though sometimes I drink fizzy spring water instead of still),but my favorite thing for a pick me up, or if I have a sore throat or swollen eustachian tubes, is icy caffeine free diet coke. It's pure chemicals and fizz and ice, and feels so good!

I like fruity no calorie powder that mixes in water.

1 1/2 c coffee AM, Ice water most of the day, 1 glass of wine while cooking, 1 glass of wine with dinner! Sipping water throughout the night!

It's funny how things that are everyday here in the South, so mundane, are foreign in other parts of the country. Sweet tea, is available at almost every restaurant even ethnic ones. Of course, I want Decaf unsweetened which does not exist.

Every potluck I've been to in the last 30 years has always had fried chicken as the meat star with an occasional pork bbq instead.

Lately I have been driniking the Sparkling Ice drinks and they satisfy my thirst. Unfortunately they only come in individual plastic bottles and I hate using so much plastic. They advertise themselves as flavored water but the list of chemical ingredients is long, so I limit how many I drink. One every couple of days but they do quench my thirst.

If I have a head cold I want Diet Coke because it feels like it cuts through the stuffiness.

Mostly I keep a bottle of tap water in the fridge and drink that.
