Well, coffee in the mornings,

I used to drink cup after cup after cup of coffee, when I was younger. I got hooked on Starbucks/Other Chains coffee drinks for a while, but kicked the habit because of the ginormo cost compared to making coffee or tea at home.

Then I switched to tea, and would drink cup after cup after cup of bagged tea to get my caffeine fix.

After a while, I had my eyes opened to the joy of loose leaf tea, and was able to reduce my daily consumption of tea to just a large cup or two.

I have now been turned on to the magic of Mighty Leaf tea, and am drinking ML Organic Earl Grey exclusively. Not only do I get by on one cup a day, I use significantly less of those magnificent tea leaves than I used to with Twinning's loose Earl Grey.

Casual comments from Kristin and Jilli turned me into a Mighty Leaf junkie.

Yeah, I don't drink anything but water, as a rule. Well, coffee in the mornings, that's a given, but other than that? Not so much... I'm speaking purely of non-alcoholic drinks, of course.

Juliana is me. Shocking.

I don't touch water if I can avoid it, but sadly, sometimes it's the only thing in the house with no booze or buzz to it, so that's what I get.

Water is gross. I hate the way it tastes. And first person to tell me water doesn't have a taste gets a boot to the head, because it DOES, and that taste is RAUNCH. (No matter where it's from, or how filtered it is. Yuck.)

It is very yummy, although I still prefer my Mariage Frères Casablanca (1/2 bergamot, 1/2 mint green tea).

Alcohol-wise -

I have sadly more or less turned into a teetotaler these days. I'll occasionally have one drink when at a gathering of friends for a celebration of some sort, but I just don't drink any more. The amount of alcohol I consume (never very much to begin with) dropped considerably after I got more wasted than any other night of my life at my friend Brian's wake.

Now, since S can't have alcohol because of her liver, we don't keep any alcohol of any kind in the house.

I was dancing with joy last week when the Odwalla Lemonade showd up again at the supermarket -- they only make it in the summer!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Yeah, I don't drink anything but water, as a rule. Well, coffee in the mornings, that's a given, but other than that? Not so much... I'm speaking purely of non-alcoholic drinks, of course.

I worship my SodaClub fizzy water maker. (Plus, the noise it makes freaks the dogs out, which is always fun.) Pretty much all I drink is fizzy water and coffee. If I'm sick, I'll drink oj. Sometimes I'll drink milk with a PB&J sandwich, though not very often. Once in a great while I'll get a Diet Coke.

I'm just a fizzy water junkie.

Oh, I definitely think water has a taste, but the rest of this is just craxy talk.

Yep, me too. (I have about one diet Coke a month, and the very occasional Dry Meyer Lemon GUS, but that's it.)
