What drink do you have when you go out?
(lazysoci.al)
Black Americano/peppermint tea/diet Irn-Bru.
Daytime: caramel latte with oat milk and an extra shot of espresso
Evening: Dark and Stormy (dark rum and ginger beer with a lime slice)
Lime makes ginger next level, good call
- Out? Water, sometimes coffee (when it's decent)
- Home? Tea, coffee, and water.
I quit drinking soda entirely. Alcohol too, but that was many, many years ago... back when I was an alcoholic.
Well done for getting through that, it's a really powerful drug
Thx
Daytime: Mojito.
Evening: Mojito.
Bartenders scatter when they see you coming.
I like your style
water
Water, unless it's a restaurant with some delicious drink from whatever culture the food is from (Thai iced tea, mango lassi, boba tea - that kinda thing) in which case, that.
Water, cappuccino, NA beer (I no longer drink).
If I go to a dinner style place for brunch, I like to get a milkshake. At this one place, I get them to add a shot of espresso.
Coffee, water, soda. The later at night, the more likely I am to have coffee. One of the many wonders of ADHD: getting mellow or sleepy from stimulants.
If I'm having food, I drink water. But if I'm hanging out with people I'll have coffee or beer.
After not liking wine (other than iced wine), I had some extra after making some French onion soup and figured I might as well drink it and turns out I like it now. And I've lost my taste for sweet wines. I mean, it still tastes good but I just end up with a headache after one or two glasses from trying a tawny port. It'll probably take some experimentation to find the sweet spot (heh or not so sweet spot I guess).
It's kinda annoying with all the variety, I have a feeling I won't ever get to the point of just being able to buy one kind, so each trip to the store might be a bit of a selection dillema.
Usually water, but sometimes root beer. A lot of local microbreweries make their own and most of them are wonderful.
bier.
Big fan of negronis and other bitter herbal liqueours
Went to a comedy club last night and had a black Russian. Haven't had one in a long time and I drink alcohol about once every 2 months.
Water, black coffee, or whiskey rocks. Sometimes all three.
If I'm eating, usually just water
My choice of wine is a sparkling white, if it's available and doesn't clash with the food
Daytime: Barrys Gold tea. Pub: Smithwicks or Newcastle.
It depends mostly on my mood, but:
- pingado (a small glass of coffee with a drop of milk) - I just need my caffeine fix
- machiato - the above, but I'm treating myself
- orange juice - I'm lunching, and I'd rather not have alcohol
- chilled yerba mate tea - I'm lunching, I'd rather not have alcohol, and did I mention my caffeine fix?
- beer - I'm lunching, I don't mind some alcohol; OR I'm drinking with my friends
- wine - I'm drinking with very specific friends who also enjoy chugging cheap wine
- campari - I don't care about whatever you guys are drinking, I want my bitters; or, I'm in the bar alone writing
In my uni times I also drunk a lot of tubão (cheap spirit + soda, mixed in the soda bottle).
usually water, but a varied flight of microbrews never hurts.
If I haven't had my daily coffee yet, then a cafe latte. If it's a decent coffee place (barista with fashionably tight jeans, arm tattoos, possibly wearing a Ramones shirt) I'll go for a piccolo. If it's a really good coffee place (barista with waxed moustache and/or ironic neck tattoos) then I'll get a macchiato.
For an evening occasion, I'll generally have a non-alcoholic cider, while debating with people around me whether that's just the same as sparkling apple juice.
Shot and a beer. Preferably tullamore dew and a Narragansett
Water for hydration
One of the following depending on my mood:
- Old Fashioned
- Whiskey Sour
- Margarita
- Negroni
- Red wine (Cab or Pinot)
- Beer (stout or an IPA)
Coca-Cola!
Usually some kinda (juice|soda)
Coffee: cortado or flat white
Dinner: water
Bar or socializing: soda and lime
In the summer, beer. Ideally an import (unless there's a good microbrewery outlet nearby) because most commercial Chinese beers are terrible. For special events, baijiu. For winter, heated rice liquor.
Filter coffee or Americano. If you mean alcohol drinks then beer - what ever is on the tap. Can't tell much difference between them.

RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.
