What is your favorite beverage of choice?

for me it's an ice cold glass of water with no ice (usually the word beverage, doesn't include water but I am making an exception here). :)

after that I am open,....you?

My new favorite "Beverage of Choice":

Fentimans Dandelion & Burdock Soda

Full-strength infusions of Dandelion leaves and Burdock root, sweetened with pear juice and spiced with a touch of ginger and anise, all intermingle for this traditional English soda favourite. Exquisite!http://goo.gl/pMDB1

I have a cup of coffee in the morning, then I drink water for the rest of the day. I prefer it cold without ice as well. I love an ice cold Coke, but not often.

An ice cold coke, specifically Mexican coke (made with real sugar as opposed to corn syrup) in a glass bottle is especially nice!

Don't meant to threadjack, but Pepsi and Mountain Dew (http://consumerist.com/2010/10/pepsi-throwback-is-here-to-stay-for-now.html) can be bought with sugar instead of HFCS.

Definitely milk. Of course, this is around the house. If I am out and about, probably either Dr. Pepper or Coffee.

"A New Name for High-Fructose Corn Syrup

Would high-fructose corn syrup, by any other name, have sweeter appeal?

The Corn Refiners Association, which represents firms that make the syrup, has been trying to improve the image of the much maligned sweetener with ad campaigns promoting it as a natural ingredient made from corn. Now, the group has petitioned the United States Food and Drug Administration to start calling the ingredient “corn sugar,” arguing that a name change is the only way to clear up consumer confusion about the product. (NYT)"

I used to be a DP guy up to the moment they took out the anti-freeze ingredient for health reasons. Crown Royal and DP were my friend back then.

Iced black tea; I drink about a gallon of the stuff every day. It's not my favorite drink, it's simply my drink of choice since I quit drinking coffee.

I know what you mean about water, but here in london water tastes like rotten socks.

My only drink of choice is coffee.

I am t-total and am glad i never drink.

My customary beverage is black coffee, usually instant, with one sugar. I have been known to drink tea sometimes, but prefer it with milk. I also have a 3 litre bottle of water where I sit.

In the mornings I be drinking tea 2SM (2 sugar & milk.. also a popular radio station in AUS)
through the day I drink coke (more than I should) or sometimes Bundaburg ginger beer.
When it comes to alcoholic drinks, I quite like bundy rum + bundy ginger but usually go for a cheap Tawney port

Rum I've gotten into quite recently, it goes with anything. You can have it with hot milk, tea, coffee, herbal drinks, on its own or with ice and its good for sticking in food as well (spagboles and stuff). Same can be said for whiskey as well, also quite versatile stuff.

Coke with Mentos.

Beer, red wine and tea.

For our non-British viewers, I'll qualify the statement.

Beer = Ale, IPA, bitter, porter and stout - no lager like stuff.
Red wine = Pretty much anything as long as the quality is there, though I tend to go for French, Spanish, Italian wines to reduce transport emissions.
Tea = Black tea with milk, Loose leaf Assam BOP is the current favourite.

Almost always just water. Used to be a coca-cola guzzler, until early 2000. Now I'm a water guzzler! :) At restaurants, they hear water and often give me a miniscule glass. The waiter/waitress gets plenty of excerise, or wises up and leaves a pitcher! At home my "glass" is a 32 oz tumbler.

I do like orange juice in the mornings, and will occasionally have a Sunkist orange soda at the office.

pepsi max, orange juice, coffee preferably strong like starbucks, ice cold samuel adams beer, water in between, the tap here sucks, we have to filter the water or barf from the chlorine taste amongst other strange flavors.

Water(no ice, from the tap as it comes from a well), Southern Sweet Tea(just not too sweet, 1cup sugar/gal is how I make it), coffee during the winter, the occasional sodas, and the occasional beer or scotch.

Depends on what i'm in the mood for. Beer usually something hoppy during sports or later at night. Tea or coffee in the morning or on a cold winter night. Water after a workout or psychical activity
