    We like coffee in my house, with lots of milk and splenda!!!!! Occasionally we splurge on the flavored nestle creamers.

      BOTH! We drink fruit teas/black teas as well as Tschibo coffee. We're also hot chocolate fans!

        Neither, really. My husband hates both coffee and tea. At functions here in the South, they only serve iced tea (sweet tea). This is a great source of pain for my dh. I occasionally drink both coffee and tea. Usually, though it is only once a month. I can't even remember the last time I had tea honestly. I like peppermint, sleepy time, and lemon tea with a lot of sugar. For coffee, I like it doctored up with penty of sugar, cream, and flavor. I like White Chocolate Mocha from Starbucks. I find most coffee tastes too much like coffee. :> I like coffee drinks, but I wouldn't say I like coffee. I once added 17 packets of sugar to one cup of coffee, and it still tasted too bitter for me when I finally gave up. I like to take frapaccinos and heat them up, even though they are supposed to be cold. I don't like cold coffee either.

        Speaking of drinks, I shall go on a tangent here, and say, I really don't like beer or wine. Blech. I have never tasted a wine I like. I do like hard liquor, as long as the resultant drink tastes more like dessert or punch. Now, that's good fun.

        Also, soda, I do not like diet. Gross. I cannot get myself to drink it. I have been able to drink C2, but that's as far as it goes for me.

        I like a little sugar with my life, I think.

            All of the above...

            Coffee first thing in the morning and when that caffiene wears off, I supplement throughout the day with tea or diet soda. Tea (unsweetened) in the summer moreoften.

            As for the booze- I'm a wino, a beer-o, a clear beverages-o. (rum, vodka, tequila, gin) Gin is my favorite of the hard stuff, but a vodka iced on the rocks is darned tasty, too.

            Hate bourbon and whisky. Yuck. Smell and tastes like ass. Or what I imagine ass to taste like.

              DF and I like to start our morning with coffee, and then he'll have another in the afternoon studying, and I try to stick to tea for the rest of the day, both black tea and herbals, depending on how tired I am!

                COFFEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE .... cream only - no sugar.

                Iced tea - "paradise passion fruit" (brewed) is my favorite. I don't add sugar to my iced tea, but I do enjoy a good "sweet tea".

                I do not enjoy diet soda (nutrasweet seems to give me headaches, I'm starting to enjoy the ones made w/splenda, though).

                Not a beer fan, learning about wine (and liking more), and hard liquor is my friend that I visit occasionally, but we reconnect well whenever we're together.

                  Heidi, you need to try Coke Zero. It tastes just like regular coke!!! Love that stuff. Apparently, this formula is based on the Coke Classic recipe, whereas Diet Coke is based on the "New Coke"(remember that stuff? I think it was about 20 years ago - nasty!)

                  Coffee...nope. Tea...occasionally, I prefer Earl Gray(plain).

                  I do love hot chocolate though! I keep my cupboard stocked with Ghirardelli's Double Chocolate. Yum!

                    To shock you all, I feel I must add that I hate beer, don't care for wine, and hate (most)booze. (though I will drink an occasional margarita or gin and tonic)

                    Funny, because I was quite the lush in high school/college. Now I can't stand the feeling of being even slightly drunk.

                      No coffee or tea here. I never developed a taste for either, although I love the smell of coffee. (probably nostalgic....my mom drinks one or two cups every morning) DH likes the taste of coffee, but he is very sensitive to caffeine and gets heart palpitations (not just one or two, but for hours) whenever he has a caffeinated drink or even very much chocolate. He drinks decaffeinated stuff at Starbucks and I stick to hot chocolate.

                      I have never been able to stand beer, either, but I am learning to enjoy wine with a nice meal, although I don't enjoy it very often! I am all about the sweet tasting cocktails, though, and I have been known to order a rum and coke back in my "hard-drinking" days. A bad experience 17 years ago involving a night of drinking fuzzy navels and screwdrivers has put me off vodka and peach schnapps forever, and even orange juice is iffy.

                      I am a classic Coke lover, and the Mexican Cokes that I could buy in San Antonio were the BEST.....made with a different form of sugar syrup or something....they tasted sweeter to me. I have been enjoying C2 lately, too, Heidi! It is about as low as I can go, sugar-wise. My thought is, if you take out the sugar (and sometimes the caffeine....) what are you drinking, really? That, and the fact that I spent several months during residency "fixing" my car by pouring a coke over the battery every time it wouldn't start, made me a little suspicious of the drink, but every once in a while, I just have to have one. I like Splenda best of the artificial sweeteners, but I also like Fresca, and it isn't made with Splenda. Mostly, I like water or skim milk, and in the summer, *pink* lemonade, the kind from frozen concentrate.

                        I'm shocked! Just kidding.



                        COFFEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE .... cream only - no sugar.
                        We need to start a coffee klatch, you and me. I guess I am just a sucker for a warm bevie. I like coffee and herbal and black or green tea. I especially like earl grey with steamed milk. My mom gives me her hand me down espresso machines (water tank!) and I think it has saved me a bundle from going to Starbucks and such. I get a little wacky with too much caffeine and have to limit myself -- I'm trying to enjoy it for the flavor and not the buzz. I have tea most every night in the winter. It helps me avoid eating as much or any (but who am I fooling) dessert.

                        I won't drink crappy coffee from a diner or 7-Eleven, though. Like Heidi said, no amount of sugar or cream will fix it. I'll go for a coke if it is just about the caffeine.

                        That's about the only time I will have Coke, unless I am mixing it with rum! I quit soda cold turkey over 5 years ago, mostly due to diet and calorie reasons. I don't like diet soda. I think it has been good because I don't expect drinks to be sweet in general.

                        I like wine, red especially, and vodka, rum, and tequila. And anything else required for margaritas. Every once in a while, a cold beer is perfect.

                        You know how they say "don't go the grocery store hungry"? I need to not go when I'm thirsty.

                          Coffee with milk and sometimes sugar in the morning.

                          I got a really great cinnabar Fiesta tea pot on super mega clearance and we have started taking tea in the evening after the boys go to bed. I love Sleepytime. Herbal tea smells wonderful to me, but it all tastes like dried bark. Still, its a nice relaxing ritual.

                          I'm not much of a drinker. Not since college and the 12 hour yak-fest after too many Rumplemitz shots. I do however love the taste of beer, so I drink the NA stuff. Buckler and Kaliber are my current faves.

                          I had the absolute best ever hot chocolate at a 7yos birthday party the other day.

                          I like iced coffee. I cannot stomach iced tea.

                          I like those dessert they make using coffee that they try to pawn off as coffee at the shops.

                              I don't drink alcohol - ever.

                              I avoid soda pop because of the calories.

                              I will drink carbonated water (ie "sparkling water"), however, if it is flavored with the splenda stuff (aspartame gives me a headache - one of the two reasons I don't drink diet sodas).

                              I pretty much stick to water and skim milk.

                              And, hot cocoa. Mmmmmmm.....
